Financial modelling

The best financial modelling

in cooperation with the Financial Modelling Cooperative

Tree Line Design works closely together with the Financial Modelling Cooperative. Tree Line Design is fully independent and is able to execute all financial modelling itselves. But, if needed, we are backed by FMC. This ensures guaranteed delivery of projects, high quality of work, abilty to increase workload, quality checks and back-up in times of adversity

The experts in the Financial Modelling Cooperation have a wide range of skills. We can help you with various financial modelling demands. The main things we can do are: (re)building financials models, training you and your colleagues to build your own models and reviewing models on robustness and quality

In 2024 the FMC was founded by Thomas van de Sande together with Mark Ringrose and Sebastian Szameitat

Whether you are developing a new agricultural project, bidding for offshore renewable development rights, acquiring operating assets, or monitoring cash flow performance, our models are designed to support your needs.

Financial models do more than just calculate – they support your strategic thinking, guide decisions, and facilitate conversations with your team. We focus on creating models that are not only accurate but also serve as tools to help you navigate complex business landscapes.

Models always come with a clear dashboard or control room to provide clear visuals and immediate insights in various scenarios or alternatives. Displaying the crucial information in the best is way is just as important as doing the calculations right.
 
Our model design is always guided by the understanding that the purpose of a model evolves throughout its lifecycle, and we tailor our approach to meet those changing needs.
