How do you use financial modeling to make better decisions?

A financial model provides a quantitative perspective on business planning. It helps a company map its path toward successful KPIs (Key Performance Indicators = metrics) and goals based on its current financial numbers. Additionally, it allows the team to see which costs, revenues, and team members are currently driving the business the most and use that information to change how they are applied and addressed in the future. Overall, financial modeling provides a clear picture of how the people and transactions within a business affect its production so that it can properly adjust for the future.
