Modeling & Valuation for Investment Banking

Turn accounting knowledge into a financial model you can build, check, and explain. This free four-hour live workshop walks through a practical framework for financial modeling and valuation, connecting assumptions, financial statements, and the conclusions that matter in interviews.

Learn how the pieces fit together and how to defend your reasoning when an interviewer asks a follow-up. Bring a laptop with Excel to follow along.
