Commercial due diligence financial model sanitized template?

Has anyone got a commercial due diligence financial model sanitized template to share? I want to get a sense of how complex it is to help me assess if this type of work is a good fit for me. For context, I'm already in consulting.

No. 

I didn't take anything with me when I left. 

But you can find plenty of these examples, honestly, if you google for them. 

I also understand that by now there are AI tools that can help you develop a first draft for such a model. 

And if you're in consulting, you should reach out to your team to provide you with existing examples (I'd definitely trust those more than what I randomly receive from a Q&A forum). 

Hope you find what you're looking for!
Best,
Cristian

Hi,

Sharing some thoughts having worked in BCG's PE practice. 

  • Financial model is a part of DD, but it is not the only aspect of it
  • In fact there are typically far more critical modules/workstreams in the case than just the model
  • Pros of CDDs: 
    • If you like heavy problem solving work, then DDs are for you
    • Really interesting work and exposure to variety of businesses
    • Short projects (so you don't get bored) versus long term transformations
  • Cons of CDDs:
    • Typically longer hours - depending on the maturity of the practice / office
    • Difficult clients - PE clients have a high bar and themselves work intensely so can be at times painful to deal with
    • Less client interaction/engagement versus transformations

Hope this helps!
