Financial Modelling Checklist: Build Clear, Reliable Models

A great financial model isn’t just a spreadsheet full of numbers – it’s a decision-making tool. To be effective, a model needs to follow financial modelling best practices: it should be clear, consistent, and robust enough to stand up to scrutiny.

This financial modelling checklist brings together practical tips and proven techniques to help you build models that work in the real world. Use it to stress-test your next model, avoid common errors, and make sure your financial model is simple to follow, easy to maintain, and trusted by everyone who relies on it.

In When Financial Models Fail – And Why It Matters, PPS founder George Pavlovic shares lessons on avoiding common modelling pitfalls.
