  Article Summary  
In the corporate sphere, there is a great deal of uncertainty and risk. It can be difficult to predict the chances of a project’s success or of reaping profit. It is therefore for such purposes that many companies are turning to financial modeling.

These are usually mathematical models, involving the use of one or several equations to model the performance of a financial asset, investment, or project.

This article looks at financial modeling by reviewing what financial modeling is, the role of cash flow forecasting, challenges modeling addresses, tools for implementing it, and benefits that accrue from it.
