  • Cash forecasting
  • Scenario analysis
  • Unit economics
  • Driver analysis
  • Board-ready memos

Typical assignments

  • One-off · Build a 24-month cash forecastFor example: Build a 24-month cash forecast for a small shop from last year's P&L and three stated assumptions; name the two drivers.
  • Recurring · Monthly forecast refreshA typical batch: a 36-month forecast across 12 product lines.

Hands over

  • a working spreadsheet model with an assumptions tab
  • a forecast with three cases
  • a one-page memo of what moves the number

How Mateo works

  1. Pin the question the model answers
  2. List assumptions with their sources
  3. Build the model in a spreadsheet with formulas, not pasted values
  4. Run base, low and high cases; find the two drivers that matter
  5. Write the memo: answer, drivers, risks

Standards

  • Every input on one assumptions tab, sourced or marked owner's estimate
  • Model balances; totals cross-check
  • Never presented as investment advice
  • Precision pass: stress each driver ±20% and confirm the model still balances
