Financial Modeling - Build Your Own 3 Statement Projection

Excellent course, definitely taught at a relatively simple level but that was personally exactly what I was looking for. All of the instruction is very clear and I had no issues downloading the relevant files.

Do not buy this course. The files you need to follow along with the videos are not available and the instructor does not answer any message you send him. If he does respond I will change my rating...but just warning everyone that the course is useless in its current form. Instructor made the course and forgot that he needs to support it.

I can't download the files for the course after trying to ask questions directly in the course module. Please improve the link so that we can download those files and I will be happily to change the rating!

It's a nice course for beginners that have barely tried any modeling before. The instructor was good at explaining the logic of actions in simple language. However, I wish it went more in depth when it comes practical problems once faces, e.g. with balancing, borrowing or other solutions. The model we made during the course was very simple and did not encounter those problems, but in real life models get more complicated and I wish we touched more difficult examples.

The teacher is not lying. He teaches you how to prepare a 3 statement model. The strengths of this course are the formatted 3 statement model he gives you and the cash flow statement calculation. He teaches/uses the indirect method on his cash flow statement. His three statements are all on one sheet so you don't have to link to other sheets. This is convenient but if you need to learn how to link to other sheets, you won't learn it here. If you need to know the direct method for cash flow analysis, you won't learn that either. Another weaknesses is his valuation lecture. The valuation calculation starts at year 0 but the NPV skips the first year and his asset valuation seems to be in the first year, not year 0. Additional exclusions are that he presumes you know Excel functions and does not examine sensitivity tables, charts or graphs. If you need to learn Excel functions, purchase Beginner to Pro in Excel: Financial Modeling and Valuation. Thus, if your time is limited, you already know Excel functions and you don't need to know how to add the various support tables and graphs that modeling requires, this is a great course for you. If you need a deep grasp of Excel functions because you have to produce all the support tables required for professional modeling, you will have to take other modeling courses.

the information presented is ok. He could had displayed more lines in the BS, like Inventory, AR, etc. Finally, those are part of working capital. Which it is an important variable to calculate and to project.
