What You’ll Learn

This comprehensive program covers all the essentials, starting from the ground up – perfect for students with basic accounting knowledge:

• Comprehensive Techniques: By the end of the program, you will have learned essential financial modeling techniques that align with industry standards. You’ll not only understand the theoretical aspects but also apply them practically as we progress through the course.

• Hands-on Experience: Throughout the program, we will work on building a complete 3-statement financial model (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement) for a real-world business. This will give you the practical experience needed to confidently handle financial models in your future career.

• Industry Insights: Each session will introduce you to sample businesses from various industries—both traditional (e.g., manufacturing, retail) and non-traditional (e.g., tech startups, e-commerce). This exposure will broaden your understanding of how financial modeling applies across different sectors, preparing you for diverse opportunities in finance.

• Step-by-Step Learning: We will follow a structured approach, gradually building the model as you learn key concepts such as revenue forecasting, expense analysis, working capital management, and more. This method ensures that you fully grasp each component before moving on to the next.
  

Structure

  Build the financial model step-by-step alongside your expert instructor, ask questions the moment they arise, and receive immediate clarification – a far more effective way to learn complex skills than static, pre-recorded videos.

• Interactive Learning: This is active, hands-on training. You'll be working directly in Excel throughout the sessions, applying concepts immediately. This practical approach solidifies your understanding and builds muscle memory.

• Case-Study Based: Apply your learning to a realistic business scenario based on extensive industry experience. (Fictional case ensures focus on core modeling principles).

• Flexible Scheduling: I fit your busy university life. Choose personalized 1-on-1 sessions or team up with friends for small group training (2-4+ students). Schedule your 30 hours of live instruction at times that work best for you.
