A financial model is a critical decision-making tool that allows users to make accurate and informed financial decisions about a company. In order to clearly and effectively tell the story of a company to decision makers, a financial model needs to serve as a powerful communication tool. These goals can be achieved when a model is developed with 6 Key Attributes: 1. Flexible: The model contains scenarios with multiple cases (i.e. base case, best case, worst case) for the most critical variables. 2. Intuitive: The reader can easily follow and understand the model based on the flow of the pages. 3. Transparent: Every formula can be understood whether the reader clicks into the cell, or looks at a printout on paper. 4. Dynamic: Any changes to the assumptions should properly flow through the model. 5. Tells a Story: The model is a powerful communication tool that allows for optimal decision making. 6. Transferable: When a model is well designed and well built, colleagues and clients will be able to use the file as if they built it themselves. Like this post on Key Attributes?
