Integrated financial modelling

IFM is a unique service developed to help SMEs understand and present their financial plans credibly to shareholders, bankers, accountants and other financial suppliers and agencies including (in Lothian Associates’ experience) trade partners.

IFM may be best described as ‘financial radar’ for management. It helps steer SMEs towards business development and progression while foreseeing any likely ‘funding gaps’ in that process.

It is preferable if the main financial assumptions within IFM are referenced to a current business plan. Consequently, IFM is most effective when carried out as a key element of either such a business planning exercise or an upgrade to an earlier plan.
