Next to my work in asset management, I build open-source Python tools for financial analysis in my own time. They started from a simple observation: across the financial sector, the same calculations are rebuilt again and again, often in ways no one outside can check. Writing them out in the open means anyone can see how a number is calculated, verify it and build on it.

Today the Finance Toolkit and Finance Database are used by thousands of developers, researchers and investors. Below you’ll find the tools I maintain, my contributions to OpenBB and a few earlier projects.

Building your own financial models?

My guide on Financial Modelling with Python covers the basics, project setup, structure, and how to build and test a model, including common mistakes I've seen in both open-source and proprietary models.
