Did you know there were 3 ways to present the exact same number? The one you pick is more important than you think…
£30m
This round number is great for impact and simplicity, but it could look like you made it up. So you’re more likely to be challenged on it.
£31.23m
This doesn’t quite have the impact, but has the benefit of at least looking like you calculated it with some proper assumptions. So you’re less likely to be challenged.
£30.2 to £31.9m
This range is just brilliant when you’re dealing with uncertainty.
Almost impossible to be wrong, and this was one of my favourite tricks to use when I was a FD.
