A financial model is a planning tool. Most searchers turn it into a science project. I'll walk through the model that actually gets a deal financed and run: pro forma P&L adjustments and which addbacks a lender will accept, sources and uses, debt service coverage and the number your lender is solving for, seller note structure, and how the whole thing changes under the new SOP. The emphasis is on judgment rather than mechanics. Which assumptions matter, which ones are noise, and how to tell when a model is telling you to walk away. If you have been building spreadsheets and are not sure whether you are building the right one, this is your session. Free to attend, live only. Sessions are not posted publicly.
