This skill is especially important for those looking to get an edge in the financial industry. A dynamic financial model is an interactive and customizable set of equations and formulas that can be used to predict future cash flows, calculate the value of an investment, and make financial decisions.</p><p>Dynamic financial models provide more accurate and precise results than static models. They can also be used to analyze a variety of scenarios and weigh the pros and cons of each one. Additionally, they can be used to make predictions based on past data, as well as project future trends and performance.</p><p>Creating a dynamic financial model in just 15 minutes requires a certain level of expertise. It's important to have an understanding of the financial principles and concepts involved. Additionally, familiarity with Microsoft Excel or another spreadsheet software is necessary. Having an understanding of financial modeling techniques like Monte Carlo simulations and sensitivity analysis will also help.</p><p><br></p><div tabindex="-1" data-cke-widget-wrapper="1" data-cke-filter="off" class="cke_widget_wrapper cke_widget_block cke_widget_inlineimage cke_widget_wrapper_webPartInRteInlineImage cke_widget_wrapper_webPartInRteClear cke_widget_wrapper_webPartInRteAlignCenter cke_widget_wrapper_webPartInRte cke_widget_focused cke_widget_selected" data-cke-display-name="div" data-cke-widget-id="0" role="region" aria-label="Inline image in RTE.

This includes building the initial model, adding variables and assumptions, and then making necessary adjustments. By using a combination of financial principles, formulas, and spreadsheet software, it's possible to create a dynamic financial model that can be used to analyze a variety of scenarios and make accurate financial decisions.</p><p>In this video we’ll build a financial model in just 4 steps. First, we’ll make a revenue forecast using the number of orders and the order value. Then, we’ll work on forecasting the variable expenses (COGS) and the fixed expenses (SG&amp;A). Third, we’ll build the income statement and the profit margins based on the assumptions. Finally, we’ll make the model dynamic by creating scenario analysis using the choose formula on Excel.</p><p>Learn to make a financial model to forecast your P&amp;L and make it dynamic.</p><p><a data-cke-saved-href="https&#58;//view.flodesk.com/pages/644bc2d12cc6cca29ac045e0" href="https&#58;//view.flodesk.com/pages/644bc2d12cc6cca29ac045e0">Design emails people love to get.</a></p><p><br></p><p><b>What is COGS?</b></p><p>COGS stands for “Cost of Goods Sold.” It is a financial metric that represents the direct costs associated with producing or acquiring the goods or services a company sells during a specific period. COGS includes costs such as raw materials, labor directly involved in production, and manufacturing overhead, among others. It does not include indirect expenses like marketing, sales, and distribution.</p><p>COGS is a crucial component in calculating a company’s gross profit, which is the difference between total revenue and COGS. The gross profit margin, expressed as a percentage, is the gross profit divided by total revenue. This margin is an important indicator of a company’s profitability and efficiency.</p><p>To calculate COGS, you can use the following formula&#58;</p><p><br></p><p>COGS = Beginning Inventory + Purchases During the Period - Ending Inventory</p><p>Where&#58;</p><ul><li>Beginning Inventory refers to the value of inventory at the start of the accounting period.</li><li>Purchases During the Period include all the costs incurred to acquire or produce goods during the accounting period.</li><li>Ending Inventory refers to the value of inventory remaining at the end of the accounting period.</li></ul><p>Understanding COGS is essential for businesses as it helps them analyze their production efficiency, pricing strategies, and overall profitability. By monitoring COGS, companies can identify areas where they can reduce costs or improve processes to enhance their financial performance.</p><p><br></p><p><b>More links on about&#160;</b></p><p><br></p><ul><li><a data-cke-saved-href="https&#58;//www.toptal.com/finance/financial-modeling/financial-modeling-best-practices" href="https&#58;//www.toptal.com/finance/financial-modeling/financial-modeling-best-practices">Financial Modeling Best Practices&#58; Tips &amp; Tricks</a></li></ul><p>Model Tab&#58; Detailed Calculations and Operating Build-up ...
