Optimizing the allocation of financial resources is absolutely critical to the success of all business initiatives. Smartcom's financial forecasts most often consist of multiple layers of itemized cost and revenue categories, with underlying assumptions, all rolled up to a summary sheet facilitating calculations of business valuation and/or ROI estimates. Key highlights of our financial modeling and planning include:
3-, 5-, or 10-year projections
Clear explanation of "assumptions" versus "hard numbers"
Sensitivity analysis to demonstrate the changes in profits as a function of fluctuations in the underlying assumptions
Full validation of all input numbers based on industry research reports, external and/or internal experts' opinions, and client's internal data
