Financial Modelling Services in Excel
StaffLink provides dedicated offshore financial analysts who build and maintain Excel financial models for UK businesses: three-statement models, forecasts, budgets, fundraising and lending models. You get a modeller working your hours on your numbers, from £1,250 a month, rather than paying consultancy day rates for each change.

Why a dedicated modeller instead of a consultancy
A consultancy builds a model, hands it over and leaves. Then the assumptions change, the investor asks for a new scenario, or the bank wants the covenant test recalculated, and you’re back to paying day rates or editing a model nobody in-house understands.
A StaffLink analyst builds the model and stays. They update it monthly with actuals, run the scenarios your board asks for and keep it in step with the business. Financial modelling outsourcing works best when the person who built the model is still there to maintain it.
What a good financial model looks like
A model is only useful if someone else can follow it. Good models follow principles like those in the ICAEW Financial Modelling Code: inputs, calculations and outputs kept apart, one formula per row, no hard-coded numbers buried in formulas, clear labels and built-in checks that flag when the balance sheet doesn’t balance.
That’s the standard to hold any modeller to, including ours. Ask to see the checks sheet in any model you receive.
Where the numbers come from
Your analyst works from your actual accounts in Xero, QuickBooks or Sage, so forecasts start from real figures, not estimates. Monthly actuals flow into the model after each month-end close, and variances are explained, not just shown.
What does it cost?
Prices are per full-time, dedicated team member, per month. The final price depends on the experience and software skills the role needs, and we confirm it in your quote.
| Role | StaffLink per month | Typical UK in-house per month | Saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| Admin staff | from £800 | £2,500+ | ~68% |
| Bookkeeper | from £1,000 | £3,000+ | ~67% |
| Accountant | from £1,250 | £4,500+ | ~72% |

Frequently Asked Questions
What financial modelling services do you offer?
A dedicated analyst builds and maintains three-statement models, forecasts, budgets, fundraising and investor models, bank lending models, pricing and unit economics models, and project appraisals in Excel.
How much does offshore financial modelling cost?
A full-time, dedicated analyst starts from £1,250 a month. Unlike consultancy day rates, that covers ongoing updates, scenarios and monthly actuals, not just the first build.
Can you build a financial model for investors or a bank?
Yes. Investor models cover scenarios, dilution and use of funds; lending models include debt schedules and covenant tests. You review and present the model; your analyst keeps it up to date.
Do you use Excel or specialist software?
Models are built in Excel by default, because your team, investors and lenders can all open and check them. Your analyst can also work in Google Sheets if you prefer.
