What is Financial Modeling?

Financial modeling is the creation of a projection, usually in Excel, of company's future performance. Various types of financial models exist, including a discounted cash flow (DCF) model, leveraged buyout (LBO) model, and a merger and acquisition (M&A) model, with each type of model serving its own purpose.

Financial models are used to value businesses for purposes of raising capital or evaluating investments or to evaluate a financial transaction, such as a leveraged buyout or acquisition.
