Description
Welcome to 'Theory of Financial Modeling: Valuation & Forecasting Principles'. In this comprehensive course, you will master the theoretical foundations and practical applications behind robust financial models. Whether you aim to value companies, forecast future cash flows, or stress test your assumptions, this course provides the structured framework and hands-on examples you need to build credibility and skill.Through five chapters and over 40 lessons, we begin by defining financial models, exploring core statements and best practices for model architecture. You will learn how to integrate your income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement into a dynamic template that updates in real time when assumptions change.In our Valuation Principles section, we delve deeply into Discounted Cash Flow analysis. You will forecast free cash flows to both the firm and equity, calculate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), and estimate terminal values using perpetual growth and exit multiple approaches. You will also explore relative valuation and multiples, adjusting for debt, cash, non-operating balances, and common valuation pitfalls. By the end of this section, you will have the confidence to derive enterprise and equity valuations with precision and rigor.Next, in Forecasting Principles, you will apply both top-down and bottom-up revenue forecasting techniques, model operating expenses and cost behavior, and project working capital cycles. You will structure capital expenditure schedules, depreciation methods, and financing assumptions to reflect realistic investment and funding scenarios. Our cash flow forecasting lessons will tie together operating, investing, and financing activities into a unified statement, ensuring consistency and reconciliation across your model outputs.We then guide you through scenario planning and stress testing frameworks so you can assess model resilience under base, optimistic, and pessimistic cases. You will conduct sensitivity analyses to quantify how key drivers impact valuation outcomes and use version control and audit checks to maintain transparency and accuracy.By the final chapter, you will have developed a professional-grade financial model that incorporates best practices in design, documentation, and error checking. You will also receive guidance on advanced techniques and recommended resources for continued growth beyond the classroom.This course is delivered with clear, step-by-step lectures and real-world examples. All demonstrations use standard spreadsheet software (Excel or Google Sheets). No specialized programming is required. The theoretical concepts are grounded in proven academic frameworks and practical business applications.Enroll today to elevate your financial modeling skills, enhance your analytical capabilities, and unlock new career opportunities in corporate finance, investment banking, private equity, or entrepreneurship.
