We were in the process of a major round of capital raising for the expansion of the SleepFit business. We needed a robust financial model that provided a near and mid-term forecast, based largely on a range of differing customer groups, numerous service offerings and a complex opportunity filter.
LMS sat with us to understand the business and continued to work with us closely until we had fine-tuned a financial model that was sophisticated, but also assessable and which provided a powerful tool for selling our proposition to new investors. I highly recommend LMS, no matter how complex the business or project being modelled.
We first engaged LMS back in mid-2015 to build a corporate model and were so impressed by the modelling, communication and value for money received from the team there that we haven’t gone anywhere else for our modelling requirements since.
LMS have helped us additionally with a capital raising model and a transaction model and ultimately, what we like about the models LMS produce is they have all the bells and whistles and scenarios that we ask for, but critically still remain easy to use for us and very presentable for external distribution.
We engaged LMS to undertake all the modelling for the financial and economic appraisals that constituted key elements of the final business case for the Transport Access Program (tranche 2) that Stonepath Consulting was tasked with developing by Transport for NSW (our client). It required unpacking a number of legacy issues as part of the modelling exercise and close integration of various data sets before the analysis could be undertaken. LMS excelled at these challenges and produced a robust financial model that received much praise from the client. We continue to involve LMS in other similar opportunities.
Training
‘I recently attended a financial modelling course in London led by Theo West. I was very impressed by the course content and the depth of Theo’s knowledge. I would recommend Theo to any with a need for financial modelling’
‘As an experienced financial modeller I primarily attended the project finance course hosted by Theo to investigate different ways of undertaking common modelling challenges. Theo showed his trainer and technical skills by delivering the course superbly, but also by encouraging an open forum that allowed attendees to make wide-ranging ‘off-course’ queries which he responded to with precise answers and worked examples.’
‘Theo’s training was highly informative and material was presented in such a way that kept participants focussed and interested. He was able to explain complex financial concepts and demonstrate how to model these using simple, logical formulae. Theo is very personable which makes the training interactive and more enjoyable.’
