Financial Modelling

Our financial modelling supports critical decision-making across transactions and growth strategies. We build bespoke, integrated models that provide clarity on performance, funding requirements and value, enabling clients to assess options with confidence across a range of scenarios.

Our team is highly experienced in delivering models that are robust, flexible and tailored to the specific requirements of each engagement, supporting processes from fundraising and acquisitions to strategic planning.

Sophisticated Yet Simple

Our models combine depth and technical rigour with intuitive design, making them easy to navigate, update and interrogate. Built with clear outputs and transparent assumptions, they provide clarity on key drivers, sensitivities and risks, allowing informed decisions to be made with confidence.

Designed with the end user in mind, they embed easily into day to day operations and remain straightforward to update and use once our work is complete.

Bespoke Models For Every Business

Every model we deliver is built from the ground up, crafted to reflect the unique dynamics of each business and the specifics of the transaction. We never rely on templates or shortcuts. Instead, we start with first principles, designing a structure that captures key drivers, sensitivities and strategic priorities. The result is a fully customised, audit ready model that provides clarity, flexibility and confidence, tailored precisely to the objectives and built to support informed decision making at every stage.

Sale of Wheatley Software Solutions to Jonas Software

“Jack, Becky, and Stewart provided outstanding support throughout the sale of Wheatley Software Solutions. Their calm, patient, and highly organised approach made a potentially daunting process feel entirely manageable. Their strategic guidance gave me confidence at every stage, and their ability to present a compelling narrative through the numbers was remarkable. I felt supported and empowered from beginning to end – I couldn’t have asked for better advisers.” — Jeremy Goulding, shareholder and former CEO, Wheatley Software Solutions

Sale of Intuita Consulting to FSP

“Engaging Stuart Williams and the wider JCK team to manage our sale process was one of the best decisions that we have made. However well prepared you think you are, there are so many moving parts that having the multi-deal experience of the JCK team embedded within our own gave real comfort, support, and belief in what we were doing. As the founder and major shareholder, Stuart’s advice, guidance to me personally on how to prepare for, approach and complete a sale, was invaluable. Stuart is authentic and human in his approach, he understands founders and the challenges in them parting with their creation. We built a great rapport over the process, and I have great trust in him and his team. If we had our time again, we would have engaged with them a lot earlier. I truly believe that we would not have achieved the quality of exit or the valuation that we did if Stuart and JCK had not been managing the process for us. They were absolutely worth their fee. I would thoroughly recommend Stuart and the team to anyone.” — Glenn Merrit, Chairman & Founder of Intuita Consulting
