Financial modelling
Helping you make the right decisions
Financial models are used to support most critical business decisions. It's essential that you have confidence in your model to ensure the forecasts you are working with are accurate when making decisions which impact the future of your business.
Our Financial Modelling team takes the time to understand the business problem first, then design and deliver financial modelling solutions tailored to your specific business needs. This may include the consideration of big data or qualitative aspects critical to your business.
When it comes to financial model reviews, we apply our bespoke model review methodology and can provide you with a detailed, in-depth model review or an agile health check depending on your requirements. Our dedicated team of technical experts is supported by a unique analytical toolkit, which we combine with the latest modelling technology, industry expertise, and access to PwC’s global network.

Developing financial models
Our team of experts can help build bespoke financial models and business models that are flexible, robust, accurate, and easy to use. We work to create and build a model that is tailored to your specific needs and that can be easily integrated into your business and/or processes.
Using our established best practice methodology, we design and build robust, transparent, and flexible models that take into account all commercial and financial drivers to support:
- Acquisitions
- Refinancing
- Joint ventures
- Alliances
- Contract bids
- Asset disposal
- Carve-outs
- Capital projects
Financial model reviews and health checks
Our team of modellers has deep technical expertise as well as commercial acumen which makes us ideal to review financial models. Depending on your requirements we can provide a detailed, in-depth financial model review analysing the entirety of the subject model thoroughly, or we can provide a focused model health check that aims to highlight the complexity and risk areas of the financial model together with a commercial analysis of key areas.
Whether you need an independent model review for an ongoing transaction (for example, as lenders or sponsors) or an in-house project (for example, at the request of the board or the CFO), we're ideally placed to support you. Our financial model reviews and health checks include the following cases:
- Operational models
- Public-private partnerships (PPPs)
- Sell side models
- Buy side merger and acquisitions models
- Refinancing models
