The future of financial modeling.
Mission & Value Proposition
We believe every business should have a high-quality financial model that provides clarity and control over important decisions, and that this model should stand the test of time. It should also be affordable, error free, easy to maintain and have limited key person dependencies.
We believe there is always a better way, so we invest heavily in financial modeling research and development. As a result, we are the pioneers of many industry-changing advancements, ranging from the creation of industry-wide best practices to the development of the world’s first financial modeling automation software for Microsoft Excel.
We are incredibly passionate about financial modeling. Our leadership team have dedicated their careers to our mission and have so far spent over 20 years empowering thousands of organizations with leading-edge financial modeling knowledge, tools, support and services. And we’re just getting started.
Join Our Community
We pride ourselves on never losing clients. Many of our dedicated clients have shared our passion and our journey for more than a decade.
We’re so confident in our solutions that we guarantee our clients will get a higher quality scalable model using Modano, at a more affordable price, than any static Excel spreadsheet developed by any other financial modeling organization not using Modano.
But don’t take our word for it, get started today and experience the future of financial modeling for yourself.
The Journey So Far
Modano was founded in 2002 by Michael Hutchens, an M&A investment banker at Salomon Smith Barney (now part of Citi), who was frustrated by the low quality and efficiency of financial models across the corporate and advisory sectors. He was then joined by like-minded colleagues from leading organizations including PwC, Deloitte and Macquarie Bank.
After releasing the world’s first best practice modeling standards, which have since been implemented by thousands of corporates, accounting and advisory firms globally, we went on to become the largest financial model build and training services provider in Australia.
During this period, we developed the world’s first comprehensive spreadsheet standardization and review software, which we licensed to corporate financiers, investment banks and commercial banks including KPMG, Goldman Sachs and RBS, while also running many of their analyst training programs.
Recognising the need for financial modeling technological evolution, Modano then hired a CTO from Microsoft Excel’s team in Seattle to further develop our technology. The result is the world’s first modular content management system (CMS) for Microsoft Excel, which is now used by our dedicated and growing community of users in more than 21 countries.
