Investor ready financial models built by an ICAEW Chartered Accountant, supporting UK and global clients with fundraising, acquisitions, exits, and lender reporting.
If you need a financial model for fundraising, acquisition planning, budgeting, or lender reporting, you need a model that stands up to scrutiny. Consult EFC builds investor ready financial models that are clear, auditable, and easy to use.
This work is led by an ICAEW Chartered Accountant with Big Four and corporate finance experience. We support UK and international clients, building models used for fundraising, acquisitions, exits, and bank reporting. You get robust assumptions, clean structure, and outputs you can present with confidence.
We work remotely and can support clients across the UK, Europe, and globally.
