How AI Helps Build a Financial Model (Even If You’re Not an Expert)
Creating a financial model for a new business can be overwhelming — especially if you don’t have a background in finance. Most founders start by entering what they know: a few expected costs, some optimistic revenue guesses, and hope for the best.
But real businesses are more complex.
The Risk of Incomplete Financial Models
If you miss important components like:
- Overlooked revenue streams
- Hidden or variable expenses
- Depreciation and amortization
- Seasonal trends or customer churn
…your model can quickly become unrealistic and misleading.
A weak financial model can lead to wrong decisions — like over-investing, underpricing, or overhiring.
