    Attronica Financial Planning & Analysis and Private Company Valuation Externship

    A 40-year-old, $80M family-owned IT firm is preparing to sell — and they need real FP&A work to back it: clean financials, a defensible forecast, and a valuation. Organize the books, model the forecast, and deliver a valuation that lands on the CEO's desk and on a buyer's table.

Overview

The externship addressed Attronica's need for FP&A and valuation materials for a family-owned IT firm preparing for sale. Work involved organizing historical financial statements, building a forecast model, and producing a valuation using the cleaned inputs. The deliverables were a corrected set of financials, a forward-looking forecast model, and a valuation report.

What I've accomplished

I worked through the externship tasks to prepare financials and a valuation: I handled confidentiality requirements, cleaned and adjusted historical statements, built a multi-year forecast, and produced a valuation using standard private-company methods.
