Most financial models break on day two


Most financial models are built to look right on day one.

Then they break the second you change an input.

Which is why finance teams quietly rebuild them from scratch every month, even when nobody admits to doing it.

Carl Seidman is one of the people I would point you to first on exactly this problem, and he is doing a session on it at the Strategic Finance Summit on July 14.

You might know Carl from his modeling content on LinkedIn.

A lot of his work over the past few years has been helping finance teams build models that actually survive the next set of assumptions, and he is teaching the full framework live at 12 PM Eastern.

The session is called "How to Update Excel Models in Minutes," and Carl walks through practical techniques for updating models quickly without the rework.

By the end of the 30 minutes you walk away with a clear framework for building models that are easy to maintain and fast to update when things change.

Carl's session is one of nine across the two days of the summit, and the rest of the lineup is bringing playbooks that are honestly hard to find anywhere else.

I will tell you about a couple of those speakers in the next few emails.

One more thing before you go.

Everyone who shows up live on July 14 and 15 walks away with the goodie bag.

The goodie bag is nearly every Excel template I have built across my career as a fractional CFO, plus every finance infographic I have ever posted, packaged into one clean download.

Replay watchers do not get it.

So put July 14 on your calendar, register at the link below, and come grab Carl's framework live.
