  Modeling & FP&A helps answer questions
  • How to blend  different coal qualities to arrive at sales spec, and is it feasible to expand the CHPP?
  • If I apply inflation to opex and capex but not the product price ,  does the investment meet my IRR?
  • What is the appropriate level of IRS (Interest Rate Swaps) hedging on a loan given the forecast yield curve and our ability to repay early?
  • Does the high AUD forecast for FY2029 (thus lower gold revenue) mean we should cut capex that year?
  • Have we included all our costs, and are we using the correct WACC to solve the tariff for our infrastructure asset?
  • or simply: are the forecast cashflows correct in our financial model.
    Financial Modeling   We build, re-build, and audit financial models for a variety of end uses: Borrowing, Lending, Feasibility of a new project, Valuations, IPO, Strategic Analysis, etc.  Clients want us to “uncomplicate” the numbers, and create a tool, which they can then use to make better business decisions going forward.
    CFO Support or Transaction Support:
    • Periodic or ad-hoc assistance: We manage the financial models for various co’s( from ASX to private), and thus undertake monthly data updating (past actuals, amended forecasts, and scenario analysis), as well as major model amendments reflecting a new business case, or an acquisition, or complete change in direction of business. 
    • Specific transactions: We are sometimes asked to come in and execute the entire transaction – which we do (leaving the CFO free to focus on running the co.). Financial modelling/Data Room management/ answering all DD questions / Writing BFS & Project feasibility studies/Terms sheet/ Long form documentation/ Attending to all KYC/ Fulfilling CP’s to get to Financial Close/Creating presentations for IC or Board

      All sectors: some recent mandates below across retail, airports, and resources.

• Debt Advisory  We work with corporates across all industries, either introducing new debt or assisting in debt refinances.  We execute the entire transaction, from introduction of funders to dataroom setup, creation of all material from models to IM’s and credit applications, managing all lender’s DD & Q&A, negotiating the best terms for our clients, and executing all aspects required to reach financial close. For new funding, we have a wide range of funders across senior debt, mezzanine, project finance, leveraged finance, acquisition finance, royalties & streaming, and offtake advances from Traders. 
• Mines For Sale  (and processing plant).  From small beginnings..
  In 2021, whilst working for Chinova Resources re debt advisory, our client gave us $20m of copper/gold processing plant to sell as well as some small non-core leases, due to our extensive network in Resources- thus we started a new page “Processing Plant For Sale”.  As miners around Australia (and globally) saw this page, they then asked us to sell their leases, and so.. today we are the #1 ranking site in Australia for “Mines For Sale”, or “Coal mines for sale”, connecting Buyers & Sellers, with > $500m of leases for sale, across gold, copper, coal, critical minerals, and clean energy, etc. Thanks Chinova!
