Register now for ASBPE’s March 28 webcast: Financial Modeling Tools for B2B Journalists
Insights, best practices and benefits of financial modeling tools that can give you and your B2B publication a competitive edge
Financial models, mathematical tools used to estimate the outcome of financial decisions before the committing of funds, are no longer the exclusive domain of high-priced management consultants. Now, B2B publications are also giving their readers such tools–and monetizing editorial content in the process–to help assess the feasibility of corporate projects.
In this March 28 webcast, Steven S. Ross will explore the many valuable uses and benefits of financial modeling tools in B2B reporting and publishing. Among other things, you’ll learn:
- What a financial model is and how it works;
- What should be included in a financial model;
- Where you can go for expertise to draft them; and
- How you can monetize them and attract more readers.
Of course, B2B journalists are using financial modeling for investigative reporting. Even small, simple models can be used to test the veracity of statements made by public relations people about new products or services. Financial modeling can also supplement other resources in the B2B journalist’s toolkit, including ratio analysis when analyzing balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements to determine the state of a company’s financial health.
