Financial modelling is the method performed to build a financial representation of a company. Financial analyst forecasts future earnings and performance of the company using these financial models. The analysts use numerous forecast theories and valuations provided by financial modelling through these financial models to recreate business operations.

Financial models once completed, display a mathematical depiction of the business events. The primary tool utilized to create the financial model is the excel spreadsheet.

Financial modelling is the task of building an abstract representation, called financial models, of a real-world financial situation. It is a mathematical model constructed to denote a simplified version of the performance of a financial asset or portfolio of a business, project, or any other investment.
