Financial Modeling, Valuation and Three-Statement Linking

A Chinese Excel study package for financial modeling, connecting the income statement, balance sheet, cash flow, budgets, NPV, IRR and assumption management.

What this package covers

This package starts with assumption management, three-statement reconciliation and cash flow, then adds budgets, NPV, IRR and sensitivity analysis. It is a model-structure and review aid, designed to make each output traceable to an input, period, currency and accounting basis.

Build in layers

Keep assumptions, calculation areas and outputs separate. Set clear periods and units for revenue, costs, working capital, capital expenditure and financing. Check whether the balance sheet balances and whether the cash movement is explainable before interpreting profit, cash flow or valuation results.

Valuation and scenario boundaries

NPV and IRR depend on cash-flow timing, discount rate, terminal assumptions and sign changes; they are model outputs rather than guaranteed investment returns. Preserve base, optimistic and stress scenarios, and state period, currency, discount basis and limitations with every result.

GUIDE

Financial modeling and three-statement linking guide

Extract a working copy, centralize assumptions, reconcile the three statements, then add valuation functions and sensitivity scenarios after the base model is stable.

Before you start

  • Prepare a ZIP extractor and a spreadsheet tool that supports financial functions.
  • Use fictional or sanitized practice data with explicit periods, currency and accounting basis.
  • Create separate input, calculation, check and output areas before adding formulas.
01

Installation steps

  1. 01

    Extract and classify the templates

    Keep the original ZIP unchanged, separate assumptions, statements, cash flow and valuation files, and create a versioned working directory.

  2. 02

    Define the model conventions

    Record period, currency, unit, revenue recognition, cost, working-capital and capital-expenditure assumptions in one input area.

  3. 03

    Add the reconciliation checks

    Create balance-sheet balance, cash movement and cross-statement checks before writing the valuation formulas.

02

Quick start

  1. 01

    Link the three statements

    Start with revenue and costs, then connect profit, assets, liabilities, working capital, capital expenditure and cash while locating the first difference.

  2. 02

    Add NPV or IRR

    After the base model reconciles, record cash-flow timing, discount rate, terminal value and sign changes before calculating NPV or IRR.

  3. 03

    Run sensitivity scenarios

    Change one key assumption at a time, preserve base, optimistic and stress tables, and state every limitation beside the output.

Usage tips

  • Keep critical assumptions visible instead of hiding numbers inside formulas.
  • Use consistent periods, currency and accounting basis across all three statements before valuation review.
  • NPV and IRR depend on assumptions and timing; present them with their inputs and sensitivity rather than as a certain return.
Troubleshooting and uninstall

Why do the three statements fail to reconcile?

Check revenue, costs, receivables, payables, fixed assets and cash by period and sign, then locate and fix the first divergence.

Why does IRR look unusual?

Check that cash flows contain the required sign change, intervals are consistent and the result is confirmed by a second method and magnitude check.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which topics does the financial-modeling package cover?

It covers three-statement links, budgets, cash flow, NPV, IRR, assumption management and sensitivity analysis.

Which statement should I learn first?

Start with operating assumptions such as revenue and costs, then connect profit, assets, liabilities and cash through reconciliation checks.

Are NPV and IRR direct investment conclusions?

They are model outputs that depend on timing, discount rate and cash-flow assumptions, so they form only one part of an analysis.

What should every model result state?

State assumptions, period, currency, discount basis, scenario and limitations so another reviewer can reproduce the result.
