Model Development

Having worked on literally hundreds of financial models from all major banks, accounting firms and corporate advisers, we know what works and what doesn’t.  We leverage this experience to develop bespoke models which are lean and responsive to user requirements. Our focus is on integrity, transparency and consistency in the development of all models to mitigate the risk of errors without compromising usability for our clients and their stakeholders.

Our key input and sensitivity levers are built to your specifications and all outputs are tailored to your reporting and disclosure requirements. Our aim is to deliver a model with minimal formulae complexity and the fastest calculation speed to make your modelling experience as straightforward and intuitive as possible.

Model Audit

Our model review experience is unparalleled in the market place. Since starting JPA, we have supported tens of billions of dollars’ worth of projects, across leading market sectors: roads, ports, property, retail, energy, mining, health, technology and media. Our expertise enables us to identify more potential errors on a timely basis and communicate these to you promptly and concisely.

Being both model developers and model auditors, we are familiar with high risk areas and key indicators that errors may exist. We use this information to perform additional critical testing to detect any issues which may not be picked up in a basic formula logic audit.

We have given reliance to all leading banks and worked with accounting and tax specialists at all major accounting and law firms, so we are very familiar with their requirements surrounding outputs, document checks and reliance. This means you can have a seamless model audit without last minute surprises.

Modelling Training

We offer both in-house and public training courses.  Our public courses are limited to just 10 participants and run regularly in Melbourne and Sydney.  Our in-house courses are tailored to suit the needs of each client and we charge a flat fee irrespective of the number of participants.
