Financial Modeling for Decision-Making

Most owners and operators make six-figure decisions on gut feel because financial modeling looks like a black art. It is not. This course teaches you a single, repeatable model structure (inputs, calculations, outputs) and then puts it to work on the decisions you actually face: should I raise prices, hire a salesperson, run a discount, or fund a new location? You will build a driver-based revenue model, a unit-economics view, a 12-month cash-flow forecast, and a simple investment case using payback, NPV, and IRR. Every concept comes with real numbers, named functions, and a worked example you can copy. By the end you can build a model from a blank sheet, stress-test it with scenarios and sensitivity tables, and present a recommendation a banker, partner, or investor will trust.
