Methodology

GlobalTaxAI is designed to turn published annual accounts into structured, reviewable and decision-useful financial analysis. The applications are not general-purpose AI chatbots: they use predefined financial models, ratios, professional guardrails and report structures.

Source data and user review

The analysis starts from annual-report PDFs selected by the user. Financial data are extracted into a structured format and presented for review before a report is generated.

Multi-year analysis

GlobalTaxAI does not rely on a single-year snapshot. Depending on the available history, it evaluates trends, turning points, structural changes and the quality of recent performance. Shorter histories are interpreted more cautiously.

Financial Quick Diagnostic

The diagnostic combines liquidity, profitability, capital structure, leverage, revenue dynamics, asset efficiency and receivables quality. Its purpose is to identify areas requiring management attention and define the next questions to investigate.

Balance-Sheet Analysis

The balance-sheet report examines asset and funding structure, working capital, liquidity quality, maturity alignment, capital efficiency, asset efficiency and investment capacity.

Company Valuation

The valuation is an indicative owner/investor report based primarily on DCF/FCFF logic. The model incorporates automated WACC estimation, operating normalisation, conservative/base/optimistic scenarios, terminal-growth logic and WACC–growth sensitivity analysis. Market inputs are sourced from documented external references and benchmarks.

Professional guardrails

The system applies predefined rules to avoid mechanically misleading results in extreme or incomplete cases. For example, the full cash balance is not automatically treated as excess cash, published liabilities are not automatically classified as interest-bearing debt, and a Gordon-growth terminal value is not forced onto persistently negative terminal FCFF.

What the reports do not replace

GlobalTaxAI reports are decision-support analyses. They are not an audit opinion, legal or tax advice, bank credit approval, investment advice, or a substitute for full financial, legal, tax and commercial due diligence in an acquisition or financing process.
