  • Leverage ratios (Debt-to-Equity, Interest Coverage, DSCR)
  • Efficiency ratios (Asset/Inventory/Receivables Turnover, DSO)
  • Valuation ratios (P/E, P/B, P/S, EV/EBITDA, PEG)
  • Built-in interpretation and benchmarking

Usage:

python financial-analyst/scripts/ratio_calculator.py financial_data.json
python financial-analyst/scripts/ratio_calculator.py financial_data.json --format json

2. DCF Valuation (financial-analyst/scripts/dcf_valuation.py)

Purpose: Discounted Cash Flow enterprise and equity valuation

Features:

  • Revenue and cash flow projections
  • WACC calculation (CAPM-based)
  • Terminal value (perpetuity growth and exit multiple methods)
  • Enterprise and equity value derivation
  • Two-way sensitivity analysis
  • No external dependencies (uses math/statistics)

Usage:

python financial-analyst/scripts/dcf_valuation.py valuation_data.json
python financial-analyst/scripts/dcf_valuation.py valuation_data.json --format json

3. Budget Variance Analyzer (financial-analyst/scripts/budget_variance_analyzer.py)

Purpose: Analyze actual vs budget vs prior year performance

Features:

  • Variance calculation (actual vs budget, actual vs prior year)
  • Materiality threshold filtering
  • Favorable/unfavorable classification
  • Department and category breakdown

Usage:

python financial-analyst/scripts/budget_variance_analyzer.py budget_data.json
python financial-analyst/scripts/budget_variance_analyzer.py budget_data.json --format json

4. Forecast Builder (financial-analyst/scripts/forecast_builder.py)

Purpose: Driver-based revenue forecasting and cash flow projection

Features:

  • Driver-based revenue forecast model
  • 13-week cash flow projection
  • Scenario modeling (base/bull/bear)
  • Trend analysis from historical data

Usage:

python financial-analyst/scripts/forecast_builder.py forecast_data.json
python financial-analyst/scripts/forecast_builder.py forecast_data.json --format json

Quality Standards

All finance Python tools must:

  • Use standard library only (math, statistics, json, argparse)
  • Support both JSON and human-readable output via --format flag
  • Provide clear error messages for invalid input
  • Return appropriate exit codes
  • Process files locally (no API calls)
  • Include argparse CLI with --help support
  • C-Level: Strategic financial decision-making -> ../c-level-advisor/
  • Business & Growth: Revenue operations, sales metrics -> ../business-growth/
  • Product Team: Budget allocation, RICE scoring -> ../product-team/
