In this course we are going learn how to financially model a business using Excel. Financial models underpin strategic and business planning, solicitations for financing, budgeting and forecasting, business valuations, cash budgeting, capital budgeting, and so many other corporate finance purposes. In this course, we are going to concentrate on the preparation of a financial projection of the income statement, balance sheet and statement of cash flow. We will first model out very simple business models like running a lemonade stand and then will build out more complex business models.

For the best results, participants should be familiar with the topics covered in the Excel Introduction, Excel Intermediate Part 1, and Excel Intermediate Part 2 classes. There is no previous finanical modeling experience required. We will cover the topics from the ground up.
