We will admit if we don't know or understand something, but we will always work hard to close gaps in our knowledge. We adhere to the CFA Institute's Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct.

We have extensive experience in financial modeling. We have built models of publicly traded companies, private businesses and startups, for the purposes of valuation, business planning, fundraising etc.
If needed, our models include sensitivity analysis, scenarios, presentation charts and tables, and even custom functions and macros.
We build our financial models in the latest version of MS Excel. All manual inputs are always clearly labeled and the logic for projections is always explained.
We have built thousands of historical financial models for our clients. Whether you need data pulled from SEC, SEDAR, AMF, LSE, ASX or any other public database or a company's own website, we can do it quickly and error-free. Our expertise in this field and proprietary tools mean we can do this faster than pretty much anyone else, while our financial background means we know what to look for in filings and reports.
We can often work with non-English language filings.
We use Microsoft Excel extensively in our work to analyse companies, value them, build tables and charts for reports and presentations and for internal needs. With this expertise, we can offer you a wide range of services involving the use of the powerful spreadsheet package that Excel represents.
We regularly sift through SEC filings, press releases and other documents in search for important information. Importantly, our financial background and experience allow us to execute such tasks thoughtfully, understanding what we’re doing and not simply executing work mechanically like robots. We also usually know where to look for particular data. We are also efficient at importing data into Excel from PDF files.

AskAnalyst is a small team of financial analysts passionate about equity research, financial analysis and valuation.
We believe that financial analysis must be based on facts, solid logic, and common sense. At the same time, we believe it is an art, reflecting not only an analyst’s experience, but often personal beliefs and imagination. If we don’t know something, we look for an answer; and if we can’t find an answer that would make sense to us, we openly say so.
We believe in open communication with our customers. We do not over-promise, and we certainly do not under-deliver.
We enjoy what we do and believe this love translates into the high quality of our work.
