Financial Modeling

In the dynamic business environment of Dubai, financial modeling necessitates precision, efficiency, and reliable controls.

CFO Ventures specializes in crafting investor-grade models for enterprises throughout the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the broader MENA region, encompassing Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman.

Our approach integrates revenue drivers, unit economics, headcount, capital expenditures, and working capital into a cohesive profit and loss statement, balance sheet, and cash flow analysis. All assumptions are meticulously documented and easily traceable. We conduct scenario analyses to evaluate price, volume, mix, churn, foreign exchange, and funding variables. Sensitivity analyses provide definitive ranges, enabling boards to discern cause and effect relationships. For fundraising purposes, we deliver models compliant with IFRS, featuring 13-week liquidity forecasts, runway analyses, and KPI packages that meet the rigorous standards of due diligence in DIFC and ADGM, and withstand scrutiny by the Saudi CMA.

For lenders, we align covenants, interest schedules, and amortization with actual cash flow timing. For operators, we convert the model into a monthly cadence, comparing actuals to plans, providing variance notes, and assigning clear responsibility for each line item.

Our models incorporate regional regulations—such as UAE corporate tax, GCC VAT, and Saudi Zakat—and sector-specific metrics, from SaaS cohort analysis and net revenue retention to inventory turnover and store economics. Our files are streamlined and lightweight, featuring named ranges, version control, and audit sheets, ensuring transparency and coherence. If you require financial modeling in the UAE or Saudi Arabia that effectively translates strategy into actionable financial insights, we are prepared to assist you.
