Walk-forward EBITDA bridge from prior period to current. Isolates volume, price, cost, and one-time adjustments for board-level reporting.
There is a meaningful difference between a CFO who presents "EBITDA was down $400K" and one who presents "EBITDA was down $400K — $220K from volume decline in the Southeast region, $130K from raw material cost increases, and $50K from a one-time equipment write-off." The first invites panic. The second invites a conversation. This model decomposes EBITDA variance into volume, price, mix, cost, and one-timer drivers with a monthly bridge structure and YTD trend analysis. The Chart Output tab produces board-ready waterfall charts formatted for sponsor presentations. I built this from the financial reporting frameworks I used while overseeing a $500M+ P&L at a multi-site industrial platform. The design principle is that variance explanations should be mechanical, not narrative — the model should produce the decomposition automatically so the CFO's time is spent on interpretation, not on building the bridge from scratch every month. 126 formulas, no macros.
Editable spreadsheets (.xlsx), documents (.docx), and slide templates (.pptx), plus a PDF deployment playbook.
All templates are fully editable. Structure and formulas are documented in the deployment playbook so your team can adapt naming, scoring, and thresholds.
