Cast/ Managed

For sponsors and portfolio-company CFOs

Your model, maintained.
Your next decision, clearer.

Cast is financial-modeling software that turns readable assumptions and formulas into results, scenarios and covenant checks. With Managed Cast, we build and maintain the model for you.

Bring your existing Excel model. We help you see what changes the answer, work through the downside and keep an Excel handoff your team can use.

Let’s discuss your decision

Start with one scoped, paid pilot. Keep your Excel handoff.

What Cast does

See how a changed assumption changes the decision.

In Cast, the model’s inputs and formulas sit beside its calculated results. Change an assumption and run the model to see the effect. Add a lending limit, and Cast checks whether the result stays within it.

Trace the answer

See which assumptions and formulas produce a result, so your team can challenge the inputs together.

Explore the downside

Compare scenarios and check defined covenants to identify the assumptions that deserve attention.

Keep the handoff familiar

Export to Excel for review and sharing. During the pilot, we reconcile the agreed outputs against your existing baseline.

Inside the product

One company. Two revenue assumptions.

Revenue of $20 million at a 20% margin produces $4 million of earnings. With $15 million of debt, debt / EBITDA is 3.75×, within the example’s 4.5× limit.

The work we take on

The software, plus someone to do the modeling.

Managed Cast is the service around the software. We translate your existing model, maintain it with your numbers and work through the next decision with you. Your team can review the assumptions and take the results back to Excel.

Build from what you trust

Start with your existing Excel model. Reconcile the agreed outputs and make the assumptions available for review.

Keep the numbers current

Refresh actuals and forecasts each month. Maintain the logic and assumptions, with an Excel export for your team.

Work through the next call

Use a monthly sponsor–CFO session to examine the scenarios behind a financing, operating or investment decision.
