Why Finance Teams Run Every Model Through This Skill

Instant Risk Score

Upload any .xlsx and get a 0-100 risk score in seconds. Critical errors surface first, so you know exactly where the model could fail before it does.

6-Category Audit

The skill checks formulas, hardcoded values, logic consistency, structure, best practices, and reasonableness. Nothing slips through an incomplete manual review.

Prioritised Fix List

Every finding comes with a severity rating and a specific recommendation. You get a checklist, not just a flag. Fix the highest-risk items first.

Excel Audit Workbook

Results export to a clean multi-tab report: Summary, Error Log, Inconsistencies, Hardcodes, and Remediation. Ready to share with auditors or the board.

Works on Any Model

DCF models, three-statement forecasts, LBO files, budget consolidations — the skill adapts its checks to the model type it detects.

When to Run the Auditor

Before a Board Presentation

Your model is ready, but you haven't had time for a full manual review. Run the audit before the deck goes out. Know your risk score before the CFO asks a hard question.

Reviewing an Inherited Model

You've taken over a model built by someone else. You don't know the logic, the hardcodes, or what was patched. The skill maps every inconsistency in minutes.

Pre-Transaction Due Diligence

A deal is moving fast. Investors want the model validated. Run the auditor to flag circular references, broken links, and balance sheet imbalances before they become deal issues.

Quarterly Forecast Validation

Your team updates the same model each quarter. Use the auditor as a standing quality gate before results are shared with leadership.

Training Junior Finance Analysts

Paste a model with known errors and walk through the audit output. The skill turns real-world mistakes into structured learning, with severity ratings and fix recommendations included.
