SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires openpyxl, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates the creation of complex leveraged buyout (LBO) financial models, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and professional formatting while eliminating manual calculation errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dynamic Modeling: Generates fully linked Excel workbooks with Sources & Uses, Operating Models, Debt Schedules, and Returns Analysis.
  • Validation & Integrity: Enforces strict financial modeling standards, including formula-based calculations, proper sign conventions, and automated error checking.
  • Use Case: A private equity analyst needs to quickly model a potential acquisition. This skill takes the user's assumptions and a template to produce a balanced, audit-ready LBO model with IRR and MOIC sensitivity tables.

Quick Start

Use the lbo-model skill to build a new leveraged buyout workbook based on the attached template and the provided acquisition assumptions.
