Guiding Principles
We build financial models
that support raising capital and valuing businesses. Above
all, we ensure that the models we develop are easily understood,
accurate, and reliable.
Financial modeling, when done correctly, should be readily
understood by all. We deliver a transparent model with a
clear, crisp structure. Our models are guided by the following
principles:
- Relevant: the model must capture the fundamental
dynamics of the business, and must be delivered on time
to facilitate decision making processes
- Reliable: the model must have internal checks built
in to facilitate rapid auditing; inputs should be in different
font colors than outputs, the model should be driven from
an assumption page with sources clearly documented
- Robust: the model must not be overly complex; each
component should be built in a modular style, making it
expandable; also, there must be visible checks
- Readily understood: above all, the model must be
easily understood by the client and the client’s target
audience |

 About
FinancialModel.net
David founded FinancialModel.net after he was approached
by a company his venture capital firm had performed
due diligence on to help them build the financial
model for their next venture.
The president of the company remarked how difficult
it was to find hands on financial consulting for
early stage ventures. The light bulb went on, and
David founded the company within days of the conversation.
David is a seasoned financial modeler with experience
working on $100 million acquisitions to reviewing
pre-revenue startups.
He believes that the key to a successful model is
to approach it from the investor’s perspective –
which means boiling concepts down to their fundamental
drivers.
David strives for expressing financial concepts
as succinctly as possible.
David holds an MBA with focus in Finance and Strategy
from the Yale School of Management, and a BA in
Political Science from Brown University .
He has worked as Director of Strategy, M&A at Interval
Leisure Group (Nasdaq: ILG), as an Associate at
Plum Capital, a media and technology-focused venture
capital fund, and as a Project Manager at Goldman
Sachs.
FinancialModel.net also relies on a deep network
of financial modeling experts who have proven industry-specific
knowledge spanning real estate valuation, structure
finance, private equity to name a few. The company
is headquartered in Miami , Florida .
