Wiseworth is a Melbourne-based financial modelling consultancy that builds investor-ready models for Australian businesses. Every engagement is built and delivered personally by Mark Jeanes, a former institutional banker with over 20 years at NAB, ANZ, Banque Paribas and Deutsche Bank.
THE FINANCIAL MODEL IS THE DECISION
Every significant business decision in Australia is underpinned by a financial model. The capital raise that funds the next stage of growth. The acquisition that transforms the business. The board presentation that shapes strategic direction for the next five years. The lending application that secures the facility. In every one of these moments, the financial model is not peripheral to the decision. It is the analytical foundation the decision is made on.
When that foundation is solid, built with institutional rigour, integrated correctly, stress-tested across genuine downside scenarios, it creates confidence. When it is unreliable, structurally broken, internally inconsistent, or built on assumptions that cannot be defended, it creates doubt at the worst possible moment.
Wiseworth builds financial models for Australian businesses that belong in the first category.
WHY WISEWORTH
Mark Jeanes is an ex-institutional banker with over 20 years of experience across NAB, ANZ, Banque Paribas, and Deutsche Bank. His career has spanned investment banking, corporate finance, and commercial banking and IT across Australian and international markets. He has built financial models at institutions that hold their analytical output to the highest standard in the world and he brings that standard to every Wiseworth engagement.
Every model Wiseworth delivers is built personally by Mark. Not briefed to an analyst. Not reviewed by a partner after a junior team has done the work. Built, from the first assumptions sheet to the last balance check, by the same person who takes the brief, scopes the engagement, and presents the model back to the client.
All Wiseworth models are built to SMART principles, the international standard for professional financial model design pioneered by Corality, now Mazars. Every model is Structured, Meaningful, Appropriate, Reliable and Transparent. Every model includes a balance check that confirms internal consistency. Every model is delivered with a handover session and follow-up support.
