Financial Modelling

Financial modelling refers to the use of a financial or mathematical model to create any of a vast number of possible outputs based on the purpose of the enquiry. Modelling is widely used in company and sector analysis, investment analysis and economic analysis. Models are used to project future outcomes (earnings, returns, growth), to review past outcomes and make sense of current events to help company executives, investors and research analysts make decisions. They are used to determine company or securities valuations, including in capital raising and M&A situations.
