Check it out: Breaking Into Wall Street – Advanced Financial Modeling

Are you looking for a way to learn or upgrade your financial modeling skills, but don’t know where to turn?

Advanced Financial Modeling from Breaking Into Wall Street teaches you how investment bankers model and value real companies in real life.

It allows you to master advanced financial modeling skills, without rocket-science math and without hundreds of hours of boring academic study, by completing:

A detailed operating model with revenue and expense projections by business segment

A full valuation using 9 different methodologies

An advanced merger model that combines all 3 statements

An advanced LBO model with support for 7 tranches of debt

What Sets This Course Apart
From Everything Else On The Market?

First, the Advanced Financial Modeling course is NOT simply academic theory. It’s based on a real-life case study of Microsoft’s attempted $44 billion acquisition of Yahoo , so we take the same approach to learning that Harvard Business School does: case studies .

And it’s the most user-friendly and time-effective way to learn these advanced financial modeling skills – here’s what’s in it for you:

Dominate Your Interviews. You’ll learn concepts here that go beyond what you do on the job every day – master those, and normal interview questions will be a joke. Whether you’re preparing for interviews in investment banking, private equity, hedge funds, or anything else, you’re covered.

Prepare for IB and PE Case Studies . Everything is based on case studies of real deals – primarily Microsoft’s proposed $44B acquisition of Yahoo! – and we include several additional case studies on the $3B TPG / J Crew deal, the $5B ConAgra / Ralcorp bid, and Intel’s $8B acquisition of McAfee. You’ll know exactly what interviewers are looking for in case studies, and how to set up your models and answer questions successfully.

Learn by Watching with Video-Based Training. There’s no substitute for watching a pro go through everything in Excel, so that’s exactly what you get here. But sometimes you also want it in writing, so you’ll also get quick reference guide PDFs for topics like Stock vs. Asset vs. 338(h)(10) deals and key formulas in transactional models.

Test Your Knowledge with Practice Exercises. You’ll get “Before” and “After” Excel files for each lesson – follow along with the lesson, and then check your answers afterward.

Track Your Progress and Take Notes. You can check off each lesson as you move through the material, and take notes on everything – you can come back whenever you want, to refresh yourself on whatever you want.

Course Certifications. After completing the course material, you’ll be eligible to take our Certification Quiz. Once you pass the quiz, you’ll receive a Certificate that you can add to your resume / CV and refer to in interviews.

Learn Advanced Nuances of Accounting, Valuation, and Merger and LBO Models. We go in-depth into topics like Non controlling Interests and Equity Investments, different Depreciation methods and book vs. cash taxes, non-recurring charges and calendarization, and “industrial-strength” merger and LBO models. After you master these topics, you’ll be in the top 1% of your class and you’ll be well-positioned for bonuses, exit opportunities, and more.

Learn How to Use Equity Research and Filings. Always know where to find everything – you’ll learn how to adjust for non-recurring charges, how to look up numbers in equity research, and how to complete valuations even when information is scarce (with acquisitions of private companies, for example).

Get All Your Questions Answered. You’ll get world-class support – experienced bankers will answer your questions, comments, and emails 365 days per year.

Breaking Into Wall Street Financial Modeling Training

Completed advanced operating model, valuation, DCF, and merger and LBO models based on 36-hour long case study of Microsoft’s proposed $44 billion acquisition of Yahoo

Used SEC filings and equity research as basis for models and learned how to adjust numbers and make appropriate assumptions

Completed bonus case study on TPG’s $3 billion leveraged buyout (LBO) of J Crew, and determined assumptions required for IRR to exceed 15%

Received Advanced Modeling course certification by passing end-of-course quiz with score of at least 90%

And you can add more bullet points to focus on whatever you want to highlight in interviews – whether that’s how you built revenue and expense projections, all the adjustments you had to make when completing the valuation, or the advanced features you built into the merger and LBO models, such as support for different transaction types and capital structures.

You can also print out the models from the Advanced Modeling course – we even have a lesson on how best to do it and what to discuss – and during interviews, you can describe exactly what you learned in the training.

Gain Official Recognition of Your Training With BIWS Certifications

After completing the course materials, you’ll be eligible to take our challenging Certification Quiz. Once you earn a score of at least 90%, you’ll be issued a personalized Certificate of Achievement with your name, the course name, and the date you passed the quiz:

Add your Certificate of Achievement to your resume/CV and/or present it in interviews to set yourself apart from other candidates.

We also make sure employers know that this is a serious qualification: Your certificate will contain a link where prospective employers can review what’s on our exams and what you must master to receive the certification.

Unlike other training companies that “issue certifications,” our process is completely transparent: you can literally point to the exact questions you had to answer to pass the quiz and become certified.

Once interviewers see you really do have the “chops” to be a banker, your chances of hiring success go way, WAY up.
