Beneath, Between and Behind The Numbers – Ian Schnoor

Today’s guest says that financial models have become the most important decision making tools in modern finance. So, what do financial models, craft beer and the rock band, Rush have in common?  

Dave Bookbinder goes Behind The Numbers with Ian Schnoor - the Executive Director of the Financial Modeling Institute, the only Financial Modeling accreditation body in the world founded in 2017 and presently serving major corporations in 50 different countries. 

Ian recently received the “Professor of the Year” award for the courses he teaches in the Master of Finance Program at Queen’s University and is considered a thought leader in finance.

In this episode we’re discussing why financial modeling is important for decision making, the keys to building a good forecast, the time bombs that are hiding in your models and design tips to help you succeed. 

We also discuss Rush Golden Ale from Henderson Brewery, (Ian happens to be Chairman of the Board)  and how a good financial model solidified this collaboration between the brewery and rock legends, Rush.

If you’re a fan of the band, you will undoubtedly recognize the song in the episode title.
