Building Complex Financial Models

When evaluating alternative business models, comparing financial strategies or working through complex problems it is beneficial to build dynamic financial models to calculate results. Properly designed financial models provide a quick and efficient method of determining the outcome of different strategies or variables with minor changes in assumptions.

Comparison Valuation & Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

When seeking capital or evaluating a merger or acquisition, calculating the fair value of your corporation is a critical component. Two common methods of determining fair value include:

1. Calculating different valuation ratios such as price-to-earnings, price-to-EBITDA or price-to-sales and comparing these values to similar companies or industries; and
2. Discounting future cash flows to determine a net present value.

WSR provides comprehensive comparison and discounted cash flow valuation studies to help you determine the fair value of your organization.

Developing Pro-forma Financial Statements

Since emerging growth companies are typically in the early stages of development, their present value is heavily dependent on future sales and earnings projections. Building pro forma financial statements is required to complete a comprehensive business plan, to estimate the present value of future cash flows and to aid in funding efforts. WSR has extensive experience creating pro forma financial statements and will provide valuable insight to emerging growth company executives estimating future results.

Financial Ratio Analysis

Performing a financial ratio analysis is an important part of comparing a company's performance against its peers. WSR will calculate these ratios and provide you with a comprehensive financial ratio analysis report. Outsourcing these tasks will save you valuable time so you can focus on running your company.

Financial Statement Analysis

Analyzing the financial statements of emerging growth companies takes a unique set of skills. Certain types of financings - that are prevalent in small companies - can cause excessive dilution and are a threat to investors. WSR has many years of experience analyzing emerging growth companies and is well aware of the many potential pitfalls and other "red flags" that can be identified through proper financial statement analysis.
