Financial modelling is widely employed within industry because it forces us to critically think about how a business or project will perform in the future, as well as how risky we believe it to be.  Additionally, in constructing a DCF model, you will need address many of the corporate finance issues commonly encountered within industry today. 

Finance plays a central role in almost all industries, and acquiring foundational knowledge benefits almost all working professionals.  Some examples include the following:  

Investment Bankers: employ financial models to help them triangulate a “market price” for the firm/business they are trying to sell.

Engineers: use financial models to help them evaluate the feasibility of new projects, such as mine sites, oil wells, and manufacturing plants.

Lawyers: are commonly asked to develop cases regarding the assumptions used to value assets/businesses/projects, and whether these assumptions were appropriate.

Board members/Executives: need a working knowledge of basic finance to understand merger and acquisition deals, as well as how best to structure their firm.
