Financial Modelling
Financial modelling is the practice of building a structured spreadsheet that forecasts a company's financial performance and uses it to value the business.
Three-statement models, DCF, comparable companies and football-field valuation. This is the skill that converts finance knowledge into an employable output, and every tool here is free to use.
What you will be able to do
- Link income statement, balance sheet and cash flow correctly
- Build a DCF with defensible assumptions
- Present a valuation range instead of a single number
