My custom projects start at $2,500 USD. The final fee depends on the business, the model’s complexity and the deliverables included in the scope. A combined model, plan and deck is quoted as a specific project.
A dashboard is only one visible output. The project scope also covers the operating schedules, assumptions, checks and cash-flow logic that support it.
Start with the decision the model needs to support
The same business can need very different models. A founder planning a first launch may need opening investment, operating assumptions and a cash forecast. An established company planning several new locations may need individual site schedules, central costs and group funding scenarios.
The useful starting point is the decision: what do you need to understand, compare or explain? That determines the level of detail the work should contain.
The main factors behind the scope
The price reflects the work required to build, check and explain a useful model. Factors can include:
- The number of products, locations, revenue streams or entities.
- The amount of operating detail and financial reporting required.
- The quality and structure of the available historical information.
- The research or assumptions development included in the project.
- The scenarios and supporting outputs needed for the decision.
- Whether a written business plan or pitch deck is part of the work.
An example of two different scopes
A single-location restaurant may need a model of covers, guest spend, menu costs, staffing, rent and opening investment. A restaurant group planning three openings may also need different launch dates, site-specific assumptions, central overhead and a consolidated cash view.
Both are custom models. Their structure, information requirements and review work differ, so the proposal should explain what is included in each scope.
What the proposal should make clear
Before work begins, establish the deliverables, input requirements, forecast period, review stages, file formats, timeline and fee. Agree how changes to the business assumptions or additional deliverables will be handled.
A useful quote connects the fee to a defined result. You should be able to understand what you will receive and how the work supports the decision that prompted the project.
You can start with a short brief
You do not need a fully specified financial model before contacting us. Describe the business, the main objective and the budget you are working with. The first conversation helps turn that information into a practical scope.
