consultants

The current financial crisis has resulted in many investment bankers stepping our of the protected world of a global investment bank to set up a boutique companies providing services to their existing network of bank and sponsors.

Rock Financial Modelling in Sydney, Australia

The most recent example is Rock Financial Modelling founded by Emma McPherson who is an ex Director of BNP Paribas. Emma will be using her network of bankers and resources companies to provide services in financial modelling and advisory based on her 10+ years of project finance and leveraged finance experience with BNP Paribas.

Financial modelling consultants offering more choice for project developers

Rock Financial Modelling and other boutique financial modelling consultants are often an attractive solution for project developers who find services from banking team being sub-standard when it comes to financial modelling. Australia has an abundance of financial modelling consultants, ranging from individuals doing it as part of a lifestyle choice to very sophisticated transaction modelling teams going head to head with the investment banks on global financial modelling mandates.
