      Leveraging spreadsheet-based modelling

      Do you have the right information at the right time? How confident are you that your existing models are error-free, robust and reliable? Are you able to flex modelling assumptions easily and assess the impact on decisions?

      In an increasingly complex and uncertain world, it’s not enough to simply rely on intuition when making decisions or challenging assumptions. Spreadsheet-based modelling can provide business leaders with flexible tools to help make informed decisions on pricing, investments, operational performance and strategic options.

      Frequently asked questions

      A model review is appropriate when a model already exists, and independent comfort is required regarding its accuracy, structure and reliability.

      Many organisations rely on financial models daily but build them infrequently. Outsourcing ensures access to specialist modelling capability that combines software engineering discipline with financial and commercial insight. This enhances technical quality, reduces error risk, accelerates delivery, and embeds structured methodologies that strengthen governance and transparency.

      A model review focuses on technical correctness, including formula integrity, calculation logic, model structure, linking, and scenario functionality.

      Additional reviews of accounting logic, tax treatments, valuation methodologies, or financing structures can also be included where these are represented in the model.

      Financial modelling supports structured decision making in any sector where robust analysis is required. KPMG’s modelling methodologies therefore apply across all major sectors, including infrastructure, energy, utilities, real estate, transport, telecommunications, financial services and government. 

      KPMG develops bespoke, fit for purpose models through a structured methodology that typically includes:

      • diagnostics and requirements scoping
      • specifications and logic design
      • model architecture design
      • model development
      • scenario and sensitivity integration
      • testing and quality assurance
      • documentation and handover
      • ongoing maintenance.

      A hallmark of this methodology is the significant front end information discovery and stakeholder engagement. 

      KPMG works with a wide range of spreadsheet-based models, from highly tailored price/cost models through to comprehensive whole of business forecasting and corporate cash flow models.
