financial modeling
An innovative state-of-the-art financial modeling tool is now available for use with financial projections for corporate clients. Developed by Whitebirch Software, the new tool called "Projected Financials" has been earning great reviews from customers and the business press alike, including a coveted 4-star rating from PC Magazine.
How does it work? Rather than starting from scratch with a spreadsheet, its modelers assemble financials by using such financial objects as revenue, expenses, assets, and liabilities. Each object contains all the business and accounting logic needed to assure that all three financial statements — Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement — remain in full agreement so that everything balances every time.
Particularly useful is the ability to collaborate in real time. Designed from the ground up as a web based application, Projected Financials allows multiple users to view and change models simultaneously, as well as work offline and move models between two environments.
