SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill transforms a language model into a CFA-equivalent analyst to perform rigorous valuation, credit assessment, deal modelling, portfolio analytics, fund structuring, earnings-quality screening, and financial forensics so users can make auditable, defensible investment and credit decisions without building bespoke models from scratch.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Valuation & Modelling: End-to-end DCF, WACC, comps, LBO and merger analysis with sensitivity matrices and multiple terminal-value approaches.
  • Credit & Distress Analysis: Ratio-based synthetic ratings, covenant stress tests, Altman/Z-score screening and debt capacity sizing.
  • Fund & Deal Economics: Waterfall and fund-fee modelling, GP/LP splits, NAV calculation, and IRR/MOIC attribution for PE transactions.
  • Monte Carlo & Forensics: Stochastic DCF simulations, earnings quality (Beneish/Piotroski), Benford's Law tests, DuPont decomposition and red-flag scoring.
  • Use Case Example: Produce a three-case (bear/base/bull) valuation for a public company, show assumptions and source calculations, run sensitivity on WACC and terminal growth, and return an audit trail of all model steps.

Quick Start

Analyze Acme Corp: compute WACC with a 4% risk-free rate, 5% ERP and beta 1.2, build a 5-year DCF with Gordon and exit-multiple terminals, and return bear/base/bull valuations with sensitivity to WACC and terminal growth.

Frequently Asked Questions about Financial Analyst - Core

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a DCF valuation with sensitivity analysis for a public company?

DCF valuation is built by computing WACC, projecting 5-year cash flows, applying Gordon and exit-multiple terminal values, and generating bear/base/bull cases with sensitivity matrices for WACC and terminal growth.

Can I run Monte Carlo simulations on DCF models to handle forecast uncertainty?

Monte Carlo DCF simulations are supported to model stochastic cash flow projections, allowing you to quantify valuation ranges under uncertainty and return probabilistic outcome distributions instead of static estimates.

What is the best way to assess corporate credit risk and distress probability?

Credit risk assessment is performed using ratio-based synthetic ratings, Altman Z-score screening, and covenant stress tests to evaluate debt capacity and distress probability for corporate borrowers.

Does this financial analysis tool support LBO and M&A accretion dilution modelling?

LBO and M&A accretion/dilution analysis are supported, enabling you to model leveraged buyout returns, calculate IRR and MOIC, and evaluate the earnings impact of merger transactions on acquiring shareholders.

How do I detect earnings manipulation and red flags in financial statements?

Earnings manipulation is detected by applying Beneish and Piotroski scoring models, Benford's Law tests, and DuPont decomposition to financial statements, producing red-flag scores for auditable forensic screening.

Can I structure private equity fund waterfalls and calculate GP LP splits?

Fund structuring supports waterfall and fund-fee modelling, GP/LP splits, NAV calculation, and IRR/MOIC attribution for private equity transactions to produce auditable fund economics and deal performance outputs.
