"Self taught" financial modelling

I am working full time in strategy consulting and I am trying to lateral into Investment Banking.
The biggest obstacle in my way is proving to people that I know how to produce financial models.

I know how to produce financial models as I have self taught myself.

Is it ok to say on my CV that I have self taught myself financial modelling?

The other option is in my work I am tenatively identifying mergers and acquisition opportunities.
At our firm we don't do any financial modelling and I have had no experience of financial modelling in a business setting.

Would it be ok to say that I have produced financial models regarding companies I have come across at work in my spare time at home?
Although the problem is that noone at my work has any knowledge I have done this.

 

It is a boutique consulting firm and I have started working their since the start of this January. I interned their from Nov-Dec. It is a very small firm but it is very highly regarded , has many of the ftse 100 firms as clients and they call themselves world leaders.

Due to the small nature of the firm I have been given a lot of responsibility and good projects.
