Financial modeling is how analysts turn assumptions into insight. In this intermediate-level course, you’ll learn to design, link, and evaluate dynamic discounted cash flow (DCF) models that respond instantly to changing inputs. You’ll start by building a fully connected model that calculates enterprise value from free cash flow, incorporating sensitivity tables for WACC, growth, and terminal value. Then, you’ll shift into the reviewer’s seat—auditing formulas, tracing precedents, and identifying risks that affect accuracy and credibility. Through concise videos, practical readings, and hands-on Excel work, you’ll develop the habits of a professional modeler: clean linking, consistent logic, and transparent design. By the end, you’ll be able to build and evaluate financial models that are flexible, auditable, and decision-ready—core skills for analysts, finance managers, and anyone who relies on models to guide business strategy.
