F1F9

Established in the UK in 1999, F1F9 is today the world's largest and most innovative financial model building and training firm. F1F9 initially pioneered a uniquely transparent, efficient, and maintainable modelling methodology now known as the FAST Standard, which in April 2011 was vested with an independent not-for-profit standards entity called the FAST Standard Organisation Ltd. In 2005 we then set-up a base in New Delhi to pioneer the provision of reliable, consistent, and affordable modelling building resource to our onshore clients. Combining the FAST Standard with our high quality, efficient offshore modelling resource, we have developed a paradigm changing Collaborative Modelling concept. Collaborative Modelling allows the traditional, often amateur, one-man modeller-analyst role to be shared between a professional modeller at our end and a professional analyst at the client end. The four-eyes principle has finally become practical reality within the field of financial modelling, and a new specialised profession of Spreadsheet Engineering has been created. And through our ongoing in-house and public face-to-face training courses, we have over the years trained thousands of modellers from the world's leading financial companies to improve their modelling technique. On the training front we have also recently launched an online training academy, which will allow our training services to reach a wider and larger audience at a very affordable price.
