Financial Models:

As the core tool in the evaluation of business decisions, financial models are the core of SavvyFM’s services. These models allows organisations to explore decisions with an instant analysis of their associated financial implications. An example of typical financial modelling projects include:

    • Transactions M&A, MBO, LBO – simulating the effects of trading, synergies and financing of a proposed transactions
    • Divestments
    • Investment Appraisals – performing analysis of proposed new projects and businesses.
    • Economic Feasibility Studies
    • PFI / PPP Bid Modelling – pricing and financing of PPP, PFI and project finance bids and evaluating the associated values.
    • Private Equity Fund Modelling
    • Property Portfolio Modelling – modelling the individual components of a portfolio will give transparency to immediate strengths and weaknesses.
    • Financial Restructuring and Debt Structuring – cash-flow modelling for determining robust and efficient capital structures.
    • Valuations
    • Strategic Options Analysis – modelling the risks and returns associated with different strategic options.

Management Reporting Models:

All businesses have an increasing requirement for reporting (to either shareholders, client or for internal purposes). Complex legacy back office systems are often insufficient to deal with the modern user demands. SavvyFM provides solutions that can ensure data is consolidated, mapped and correctly reported in an efficient and timely manner.

With modern computing power and the utilisation of the Microsoft Office suite, your solution can often be provided for at the fraction of the cost of mainframe alternatives. Transparency and ease of usage can be easily tailored to the client.

Modelling Tools / Add-Ins:

SavvyFM has deep in depth experience in developing modelling tools, add-ins and systems. This includes a background in teaching the "big 4"; firm VBA coding and best modelling practice. SavvyFM's partnership with the world leading model review tool ExcelSavvy, demonstrates some of the complex areas of coding that could help your organisation.

Many of the tools used for short-term management, planning and budgeting have also been incorporated into the delivery of SavvyFM's database solutions. These scaleable enterprise solutions have allowed organisations to release powerful models to a wide variety of stakeholders. This has led directly to time and cost savings in planning, finance and operational functions.

Database / Application Development:

SavvyFM has an in-depth knowledge of database architecture as well as delivering front end solutions. This combined skillset has benefited organisations who require complex data management with intuitive user interfaces. Example solutions include:

    • Overnight batch processing of data
    • Enterprise solutions
    • Management Information Systems
    • Seamless scenario management of Microsoft Excel data utilising Microsoft Access as a hidden back end solution
    • SQL programming
    • Benefits Tracking systems

Model Review:

SavvyFM can help you gain confidence in your numbers by having your models reviewed. Usually spreadsheet based, our experience has shown that logic errors in models are often pervasive and costly to businesses.

SavvyFM’s partnership with the world leading model review tool ExcelSavvy, demonstrates our dedication to ensuring the best quality in our procedures. With further access to the ‘ExcelSavvy’ methodology for reviewing modelling, SavvyFM can deliver solutions that follow a developed and reliable process. Click here for more details on ExcelSavvy.

  • Parallel Modelling :

In addition to this traditional review of models, SavvyFM can provide Parallel modelling. This process involves taking the existing model and building a second one using the same book of assumptions. This technique often uncovers clients’ modelling oversights that traditional review methods do not uncover.

  • Analytic Assessment :

SavvyFM use a variety of techniques and software to perform model stress testing. This can involve developing software to output model results or using ‘off the shelf’ solutions such as ‘@Risk’ to provide Monte-Carlo simulation analysis.

In all SavvyFM’s reviews the objective is to improve the model and not to provide an ‘insurance policy’. In doing this we focus on identifying risk areas within models and providing detailed guidance on both immediate issues and ways to improve efficiency and minimise risk

Data Science and Analytics:

SavvyFM's data scientists represent an evolution from the business or data analyst role and fits perfectly with our solid foundation from within computer science, applications, modelling, statistics, analytics, economics and maths.

The SavvyFM data scientist strong business acumen, coupled with the ability to communicate findings to both business and IT leaders can influence how an organization approaches a business challenge.

Our data scientists will not just address business problems, they will pick the right problems that have the most value to the organization.

A SavvyFM data scientist role is often described as part analyst and part artist.

Our experience has shown that our models can allow clients to stare at data and spot trends. These trends can assist companies who really wants to learn and bring change to an organization.

Whereas a traditional data analyst may look only at data from a single source, for example a CRM system, we can explore and examine data from multiple disparate sources. A SavvyFM data scientist will sift through all incoming data with the goal of discovering a previously hidden insights, which in turn can provide a competitive advantage or address a pressing business problem. A data scientist does not simply collect and report on data, but also looks at it from many angles, determines what it means, then recommends ways to apply the data.

SavvyFM data scientists are inquisitive: exploring, asking questions, doing “what if” analysis, questioning existing assumptions and processes. Armed with data and analytical results, our data scientists can communicate informed conclusions and recommendations across an organization’s leadership structure.
