Business Modelling and Analytics
Evaluating a potential transaction, market opportunity or strategic decision involves a lot of complex factors. We bring them all together in quantitative business models that help our clients understand the implications and act accordingly.
Our Business Modelling team delivers a broad spectrum of services from complex transaction-related financial modelling and business planning through to decision support and analytics. When you join us you will have the opportunity to work on projects across the team and will have the opportunity to work flexibly across all areas, developing the broad range of skills required. Projects may focus on any element of the client's business, strategic, tactical or operational needs.
Our projects often involve multiple stakeholders and high degrees of complexity and uncertainty. Success in this environment requires a passion for financial modelling along with exceptional client handling, communication skills, rigorous analytical techniques and excellent data handling skills.
Technology in Business Modelling and Analytics
In UK and Ireland (UKI), we develop our people to use Excel and VBA programming to create robust financial models to help support our clients in making decisions. As well as Excel based models, our projects may include the use of other data manipulation and visualisation software, for example, Alteryx and PowerBI. In Financial Services (FS), as well as Excel and VBA, our people are also trained and developed to work with analytical tools such as SQL for data wrangling and PowerBI for data visualisation. Statistical modelling tools, such as Python and R, are also used to derive insight through forecasting calculations and simulations.
