Financial Modeling
& Valuation
Rigorous financial models and independent valuations for fundraising, M&A, and strategic planning — built from first principles, not templates.
Models built to withstand scrutiny
A financial model is only as useful as the scrutiny it can survive — from a lender's credit committee, an investor's diligence team, or a board asking hard questions. Ascendiq builds models designed for exactly that level of examination.
We construct integrated three-statement financial models from first principles — grounded in the operational drivers of the specific business, not generic templates — and pair them with independent valuations using the methodologies appropriate to the situation: DCF, comparable company analysis, precedent transactions, or asset-based approaches.
Whether the model supports a fundraise, an M&A transaction, a strategic plan, or a statutory valuation requirement, our work is built to be defensible under direct questioning, not just presentable in a deck.
