Learn essential finance and accounting concepts while building a comprehensive discounted cash flow (DCF) model in Excel. In this three-day intensive financial modeling class, you’ll go from beginner to advanced in Excel, build a comprehensive financial model for a real company, and learn finance, accounting, and corporate valuation.

This course has a prerequisite

Prior financial experience is helpful, but not required. Those without a finance or accounting background will receive a short guide prior to the course (available in the online student portal) to acclimate themselves to terminology.

Excel proficiency equivalent to Intermediate Excel for Business is required, including VLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, and IF statements. Our Financial Analyst Training Program includes beginner and intermediate Excel along with this 3-day bootcamp.

Course Reviews

From our hands-on training style to world-class instructors and custom-crafted curriculum, we deliver results our alumni are proud of.

Took the two day Financial Modeling Bootcamp. Extremely informative and useful. Smaller class size allows for one on one help and enables you to really understand the material you are working through. Additionally you build out a model on an actual company during the course, allowing you to perform the same kind of analysis you would use in a real office setting, as opposed to looking at generic accounting problems. Office itself is very nice, and the professors are extremely well informed. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to develop, sharpen, or reestablish their financial modeling skills.

Great experience, I highly recommend for anyone looking to break into consulting/banking!

I can honestly say I learned more useful modeling and Excel skills from the Financial Modeling Bootcamp than I have through one and a half years of business school. The course effectively conveys key finance, corporate finance, and financial accounting concepts while also offering students the opportunity to build real financial models with real-time data. The 7:1 student to teacher ratio along with the experience and modeling expertise of Mourad offers a unique opportunity for a personalized learning experience. Whether you are a student looking to pursue a career in finance or a current professional simply looking to brush up on your Excel skills, I would highly recommend this course.

This was a great refresher course for some of the deeper financial concepts I have not used since undergrad. I think this course is phenomenal for recent college grads starting off their careers in finance or budget. It's a great intro for learning to navigate Excel shortcuts. I am 5 years in my career now and have never had the investment banking background but still have been a financial analyst and been involved in raising capital so the concepts covered were a great refresher for me.

Highly recommend this course for anyone looking to refine, refresh, or extend their financial modeling skills. This course focuses on practical & tactical concepts that I could immediately apply to my daily workflow. Great value & a worthwhile time investment. If you can make it onsite for the in-person sessions, even better!
