A specialist studio for project finance, valuation, and debt — from renewable energy and infrastructure projects to companies raising capital — built so the numbers hold up in front of lenders, investors, and boards.
✓ Leave with a clear plan, fixed price, and timeline — whether or not we work together.

Most spreadsheets break under the first hard question — a lender stress-test, a diligence pass, a board member pulling a thread.
Transparent, fully linked, scenario-driven models with every assumption documented and sourced.
Three-statement and DCF valuation, comparable-company and precedent analysis, defensible WACC and terminal value.
Cash-flow models with debt sculpting, DSCR/LLCR sizing, multi-tranche structures and covenant tests — to the standard lenders underwrite against.
Debt-capacity analysis, refinancing scenarios, sources-and-uses, and returns under alternative structures — so you raise on the right terms.
Scenario and sensitivity frameworks that show what actually moves the answer — so a single base case becomes a decision you can defend in the room.
We don't model everything. These are the projects we know — and we know how lenders and investors look at each one.
Solar, wind, and battery projects: how much debt the project carries, what returns look like under current tax rules, and whether the file clears lender review.
Water, carbon capture, and other long-life assets: long-term contracts and steady revenues, modeled for the lenders and partners who fund them.
Companies raising capital: a clear operating model, a defensible valuation, and investor-facing exhibits built to answer diligence questions.
The U.S. begin-construction deadline for wind and solar passed on 4 July 2026. Projects that missed it now face a 31 December 2027 placed-in-service date, and foreign-entity content rules apply on top. Most project models were built before those rules landed. If yours has to clear a lender, a model audit tells you what breaks before they find it. Get it reviewed →
Every file that leaves this studio passes the same checks before handover. It's the difference between a spreadsheet and an asset you can put in front of a lender.
Blue inputs on dedicated sheets. No hardcodes buried inside formulas.
Each input carries a source: contract, filing, market data, or management estimate — labeled as such.
Balance sheet balances by construction. No balancing plugs, no circularity left unexplained.
Base, downside, and lender case switch from one cell. Sensitivities on the drivers that actually move the answer.
A live error dashboard — integrity, sign, and covenant checks — visible on every sheet's header.
Model map, driver tree, and change log. Your team can own the file after one walkthrough — no dependency on us.
The full spec is free — use it to audit your own model, or anyone else's.
| Experience | 8+ yrs corporate & project finance |

| Juniors on your file | 0 |
| Concurrent engagements | Limited by design |
| Confidentiality | Always confidential |
FinModelHQ is deliberately small. Every engagement is led end-to-end by a senior modeler with 8+ years in corporate finance and project modeling — someone who has sat on the side of the table that asks the hard questions, and builds models ready for them.
That structure is the product: the person who frames your problem in the scoping call is the person whose hands are in the file. No account managers, no juniors you never meet, no dilution between the conversation and the work.
A working session to pin down the decision, the structure, and every key assumption — and where each is sourced. Fixed scope and price before any build.
Built to the six-point standard — inputs separated, scenarios wired in — then broken on purpose before anyone else can break it.
A documented, audit-ready file plus a live walkthrough so your team owns it. Two weeks of follow-up tweaks included.
The two situations that bring people here — the problem, what gets built, and the decision it has to survive. These describe the shape of an engagement, not a named deal; client work stays confidential.
When a cash-flow model has to clear a lender's desk: a project finance model with sculpted debt, DSCR/LLCR tests, and reserve accounts — stress-tested against the downside cases before it ever reaches underwriting, and structured so the independent engineer can trace every number.
When you're raising and the numbers have to hold up: a fully linked three-statement model, DCF, and comparable-company analysis, plus the investor-facing exhibits — built to answer diligence questions on the spot, not crumble under them and force a mid-raise rebuild.
Priced by the value of the decision — not by the hour. Every engagement ships an audit-ready model and a live walkthrough.
Not sure which fits? The scoping call answers that in 20 minutes — you leave with a plan and a fixed price either way. Every engagement is quoted as one number, agreed before work begins.
A 20-minute call to scope the work. You'll walk away with a clear plan, fixed price, and timeline.
