Some things you get better at with practice; some you need to get right first time (like skydiving). Like an '80's movie, this is for Readers of the Lost Art: this book is aimed at those who wish to advance their knowledge and expertise in financial modelling by addressing common problems that occur day to day in the world of business / decision analyses, forecasting and valuations. Building on the sister book, An Introduction to Financial Modelling, this book begins where the other ends considering typical issues and traps in cashflow forecasting, inventory modelling, depreciation calculations, debt sculpting, rolling budgets and charts, and valuation construction, to name just a few relevant topics. Author Liam Bastick continues to write in his own inimitable style, explaining why you should model in a particular way, not just how. This is an essential book for every financial modelling practitioner and would-be Excel guru.
