How long does a financial model take to build?

Between 3 and 12 days for most engagements. A three-statement model typically runs 5 to 7 days; a DCF 4 to 6; a full M&A or LBO model 7 to 12. The biggest variable is the condition of your existing records, not the model itself.

Do I get the Excel file or just a report?

You get the live working file with formulas intact. You can change assumptions, rerun scenarios and take it to your accountant or lender. That is the whole point — the model is an asset you keep, not a report you rent.

What do you need from me to start?

Historical financial statements, ideally three years, plus whatever operational detail drives revenue. If your records are incomplete we will tell you before quoting rather than discovering it halfway through.

How much does a financial model cost?

Fees are quoted per engagement, because they depend on entity complexity, the state of your records and the turnaround you need. Inquire and you will receive a written proposal with a fixed fee and a delivery date, at no charge.

Can the model be delivered in Spanish?

Yes. Every engagement is delivered in English or Spanish, including the written commentary, the labels in the file and the walkthrough call.

What a properly built model actually does

Most spreadsheets that owners bring us are a revenue line, a cost line and a hopeful growth percentage. That is not a model — it is an estimate with formatting. A real model links the three financial statements so that every assumption flows through all of them: change the collection period and you see it hit cash, working capital and the revolver draw at once.

That linkage is what a credit officer or an investor is testing when they open your file. If the balance sheet does not balance, or the cash flow statement is hard-coded rather than derived, the conversation is over before it starts.

Which model do you need?

Three-statement model — the foundation. Use it for budgeting, lender packages and any conversation about the business as a whole.

DCF — when you need an intrinsic value: a buyout offer, a partner exit, a decision about whether an asset is worth holding.

LBO — when debt is doing the work. Returns analysis, debt schedules and a sponsor waterfall.

M&A / merger model — accretion and dilution on a proposed structure, with synergies modeled separately so they can be stress-tested.

Startup model — unit economics, burn and runway, built to survive a due-diligence read.

Real estate model — cash flows, debt service, equity waterfall and IRR.
