For practices

Practical applications in client meetings

Use established financial analysis to discuss a client's position with clarity and precision.

Client acquisition

Prepared analysis before every meeting

Request a prospect's GL export before the meeting. LedgerIQ calculates 40+ metrics (liquidity ratios, margin analysis, cash conversion cycle) so you can discuss their financial position with specificity. Use ReconcileIQ to verify the data first, then CodeIQ to automate the coding that creates your GL.

Z-Score: 2.1 (grey zone) 78-day cash cycle ROE driven by leverage 12% above break-even
Method

Their data, your lens

You're not making claims, you're showing prospects what's already in their numbers. The insight comes from seeing their business through a financial analyst's framework.

  • Altman Z-Score, DuPont, Piotroski
  • 40+ ratios used by analysts globally
  • Metrics that clients recognise and trust
First impression

Concrete talking points

"Your Z-Score is 2.1, that places you in the grey zone for financial stress. Here's what's contributing to that score." Specific data, not generalities.

Compatibility

Works with any software

Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, Pandle, or any platform with GL export. Your prospect's software doesn't matter.

Language

Speak their language

Discuss cash conversion cycles, margin erosion and working capital efficiency, not just compliance deadlines.

Turnaround

Minutes to prepare

Prospect sends GL on Tuesday, you run it Wednesday morning, walk in Wednesday afternoon armed with insights.

Established financial science

Enterprise-grade financial analysis

Every calculation uses established accounting formulae. Altman Z-Score, DuPont decomposition, Piotroski F-Score, and 35+ more ratios used by analysts worldwide.

Bankruptcy prediction

Altman Z-Score

The industry-standard formula for assessing financial distress risk, developed at NYU and validated across 50+ years of corporate data.

Z = 1.2\frac{WC}{TA} + 1.4\frac{RE}{TA} + 3.3\frac{EBIT}{TA} + 0.6\frac{MVE}{TL} + 1.0\frac{Sales}{TA}

Z > 2.99 safe zone · 1.81 to 2.99 grey zone · Z < 1.81 distress zone

"Your prospect has a Z-Score of 2.1, they're in the grey zone."

Performance drivers

DuPont decomposition

Breaks down return on equity into three strategic components, revealing whether returns come from margins, efficiency or leverage.

ROE = \underbrace{\frac{NI}{Rev}}_{Margin} \times \underbrace{\frac{Rev}{Assets}}_{Turnover} \times \underbrace{\frac{Assets}{Equity}}_{Leverage}

Instantly identify which lever, profitability, efficiency, or financial leverage, is driving (or dragging) their returns.

"ROE is 18%, but it's all leverage, margins are thin."

Scenario modelling

Break-even & CVP analysis

Cost-volume-profit analysis with interactive what-if scenarios. See how price changes, cost reductions or volume shifts affect profitability.

BEP = \frac{Fixed\ Costs}{1 - \frac{Variable\ Costs}{Revenue}} = \frac{FC}{CM\ Ratio}

Includes contribution margin, margin of safety, and three what-if calculators: target profit, price change impact, cost reduction scenarios.

"They're operating at 12% above break-even, slim safety margin."

Working capital

Cash conversion cycle

Measures how long cash is tied up in operations, from paying suppliers to collecting from customers. Critical for understanding liquidity stress.

CCC = DSO + DIO - DPO

Combines Days Sales Outstanding, Days Inventory Outstanding, Days Payables Outstanding into one powerful metric.

"78-day cash cycle, they're funding 2.5 months of operations."

Composite scoring

Financial health score

Combines the Altman Z-Score with Piotroski F-Score (9-point fundamental analysis) and liquidity metrics into a single 0 to 100 health rating.

Health = w_1 \cdot Z_{norm} + w_2 \cdot F_{score} + w_3 \cdot Liquidity

Piotroski F-Score evaluates 9 binary signals: profitability (4 points), leverage/liquidity (3 points), operating efficiency (2 points).

"Financial Health: 72/100, good but watch the leverage."

Risk detection

Anomaly detection

Intelligent flagging of unusual transactions using materiality thresholds, not just statistical outliers. Catches control violations and structuring patterns.

Materiality = max(£5000,\ 2\%\ Rev,\ 0.5\%\ Assets)

Categorises findings by severity: Critical (cash irregularities, control violations), Medium (timing anomalies), Low (statistical outliers).

"3 critical anomalies flagged, manual cash journals over £50k."

All formulae are established financial analysis standards. Current Ratio, Quick Ratio, EBITDA margin, Debt-to-Equity, and 35+ more ratios used by analysts and lenders worldwide.

M&A-grade valuation engine

Business valuation in seconds, not months

Six valuation methods, Monte Carlo simulation, sensitivity analysis and exit-readiness scoring, from a general ledger export. The same work that costs £5,000 to £50,000 from a corporate finance firm.

DCF valuation

Discounted cash flow

Five-year free cash flow projections with terminal value via Gordon Growth Model. Discounted to present value using WACC derived from your actual capital structure.

EV = \sum_{t=1}^{5}\frac{FCF_t}{(1+WACC)^t} + \frac{TV}{(1+WACC)^5}

"Enterprise value: £2.4M based on projected cash generation."

Statistical modelling

Monte Carlo simulation

10,000 randomised scenarios varying WACC, growth rates and terminal assumptions. Outputs percentile bands (10th to 90th) so you know the range, not just a point estimate.

P(EV) = \frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^{10000} f(WACC_i, g_i, TV_i)

"90% confidence: valuation falls between £1.8M and £3.1M."

Acquisition readiness

Exit readiness score

12-dimension assessment covering revenue growth, margin stability, cash generation, debt health and data integrity (Benford's Law). Composite A-F grade with actionable gaps.

Score = \sum_{d=1}^{12} w_d \cdot S_d \quad (0\text{-}100)

"Exit readiness: B (72/100), strong margins, watch leverage."
