AKSELROD ACADEMY PRESENTS:
INTRO TO FINANCIAL MODELING
LEARN FINANCIAL MODELING, BOOST YOUR RESUME AND LAND HIGH-PAYING JOBS IN FINANCE AND REAL ESTATE
Are you a student,
Or a finance or real estate professional?
Are you seeking employment in investment banking, private equity, or real estate?
Have you ever felt that business school left you with “too much theory, too little practice”?
You’ve Come To The Right Place…
At Akselrod Academy, we understand that business school can leave you feeling frustrated and unprepared for your career.
Having worked with business school grads around the world, we’ve found that a majority of them graduate without financial modeling skills, leaving them unprepared for top jobs in high-paying fields like...
Investment Banking. Private Equity. Equity Research. Real Estate.
If you want to get a leg up on the competition you need the "practical skills" that employers demand.
Finance is a lucrative world, with starting salaries as high as $150,000 in top markets like London, Hong Kong and NYC and ultimate compensation in the millions for top performers.
But it’s also a competitive world, one where you need to offer something unique to stand out from hordes of overqualified applicants.
The Good News Is, That “Something Unique” Doesn’t Need To Be Perfect Grades Or A Harvard Degree... It Can Be Something As Simple As A SKILL That None Of Your Colleagues Can Match.
Because the truth is the VAST majority of Wall Street firms would take demonstrable skill over top grades or academic pedigree any day of the week.
Most finance jobs are technical and require extensive training. So, coming in already knowing how to perform a job is a HUGE asset.
Think of it from your boss’ perspective. Would he prefer someone from a fancy business school (with no relevant job experience)?
Or would he prefer someone who’s already trained and ready to go, day one?
It’s a NO BRAINER!
Enter financial modeling
In the world of banking, private equity and real estate, financial modeling is by far the most sought after skill, demanded by employers at top firms and smaller businesses alike.
Financial models help investors project future financial performance of businesses, making them indispensable in evaluating investment decisions.
Top employers want professionals who can help them make better investments!
And with financial modeling under your belt, you can offer them just that.
Intro to Financial Modeling:
Financial Education For The Real World
Intro To Financial Modeling is a comprehensive modeling course, based on over 15 years of industry experience at top firms like Green Street Advisors, Cohen & Steers and Morgan Stanley.
Put simply, our program has the real-world depth and industry recognition that will meet your needs and the needs of the employers you want to impress.
Affordable, accessible and 100% online, and it offers the perfect “real world” training solution to kick start your career :
The hands-on training you need to build dynamic financial models. The opportunity to analyze real financial statements and company reports.The chance to produce earnings estimates and balance sheet projections just like you would in a real on-the-job assignment.The experience of learning real-world financial modeling through four comprehensive modules, including detailed video training, do-it-yourself Excel exercises, key-shortcut tutorials, and step-by-step written presentations.
What You’ll Learn In Intro to "Financial Modeling"
Intro to Financial Modeling is divided into four basic modules, each covering an essential area of modeling as practiced at top financial and real estate institutions today:
[Financial Statement Analysis] [Hide] [+]
In this section you’ll learn to analyze, simplify and adjust existing company financials through a series of 11 short video lectures.
You’ll learn how to deal with reported accounting and separate what’s important from what’s not.
You’ll study annual reports, financial statement notes and management comments.
Each financial statement line-item will be addressed individually, while key concepts like cash-recurring income, net operating income and EBITDA are explained.
Finally, you will test your knowledge through an Excel exercise, independently adjusting reported numbers and setting up your model for future year projections.
[The P&L] [Hide] [+]
In this section we’ll teach you how to project a company’s profit and loss statement (otherwise known as the income statement).
You will learn how to model revenue, operating expenses, EBITDA and FFO, among other key performance metrics.
We’ll cover all the basics of P&L modeling during the 7 in-depth videos in this section.
You’ll gain hands-on modeling experience through two detailed Excel exercises.
Detailed step-by-step solution videos and written instruction manuals will guide you through every step of the process, while vital Excel shortcut lessons boost your modeling speed and efficiency from day one.
[The Balance Sheet] [Hide] [+]
This module covers modeling of the balance sheet, the statement that captures the assets a company owns minus the liabilities it owes.
You will learn how to project investment property, joint ventures and property plant & equipment, through five comprehensive video lectures.
You will model depreciation & amortization and learn how this complex expense affects the balance sheet.
And you will project important “working capital” items like accounts receivable and accounts payable, using the relevant financial ratios.
As in previous modules, an intuitive Excel exercise, step-by-step solution guides and Excel shortcut tutorials are provided to really drive home your learning.
[The Cash Flow Statement] [Hide] [+]
This section is the lynchpin of the entire modeling process. It addresses the dynamic modeling techniques hardly anyone even knows about outside investment banking, research or private equity.
Here, you will tie together your P&L estimates, dividend projections and balance sheet estimates in a single cash-flow statement. Using this statement you will then learn how to project cash, debt and interest expense, the most complex items in any financial model.
In 4 in-depth video lectures and a final Excel exercise, you will master these advanced concepts and acquire a skill that only a small number of finance professionals possess.
[Bonus Presentation] [Hide] [+]
Like a real analyst at a financial institution, you’ll learn to refine and revise your estimates by going through conference call transcripts, management commentary and investor presentations.
We will guide you through this process in a step-by-step bonus presentation, testing each of your inputs and assumptions…and finally seeing how close your initial estimates were to reality.

You Get The Benefit Of The BEST Business Education Method, Hands Down...
Each module is taught in case study format.
This means you will immerse yourself in the actual published financial statements, investor presentations and management commentary, of a real stock listed company.
As you go through each of the four modules, you will progressively solve a full modeling assignment, just as if you were a hired analyst at a world class financial institution.
And there’s plenty of material to help you master the process. With more than 30 comprehensive videos, 5 Excel exercises plus detailed supplemental reading materials, Intro to Financial Modeling covers everything you need to acquire the most sought after skill in finance today...
After completing the four modules, course participants are able to test their new financial modeling skills by taking a graded exit exam*, including hands-on modeling assignments and theory questions.
“But isn’t financial modeling difficult to learn?
Will I be able to understand the material?”
Let’s be realistic. Nothing that boosts your career THIS much comes completely without effort.
You’ll have to study. And you’ll have to stick with the program. BUT if you do, you will learn financial modeling…
...Not the academic way, not the theoretical way, not the “professor’s” way, but the way top finance employers do it.
And we make it as easy as possible for you to learn:
We break down the difficult concepts into simple chunks. We guide you through each exercise. And we provide detailed explanations to all key concepts.
PLUS, we leave the hard math at the door. If you have basic Excel skills and some familiarity with elementary accounting concepts, you can master financial modeling.

What Our Students Are Saying:
The Akselrod Academy program is a very useful introductory course to financial modeling. It encompasses the bread and butter of any financial analyst work - linking the Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Cashflow, and making various adjustments to produce the Dynamic Three Financial Statement model.
As someone who has worked in the industry, I found the program to be extremely useful for refreshing my knowledge on why some adjustments are made in order to prepare for financial interviews. I would say that the explanations to the adjustments are the highlight of the course, as once you are working you end up making some adjustments automatically and often forget the theoretical reasoning behind it. I also found the videos to be well paced and informative, and believe that they would really make a difference to somebody who has not done these type of analyses before. Finally, I think that some aspects of the course, such as modeling the debt schedule, are maybe even going beyond the scope of the introductory course and are extremely beneficial to individuals with little prior knowledge of modeling and MS Excel.
To summarise, I would highly recommend the program for prospective new entrants to the industry as well as experienced analysts seeking to refresh their knowledge before interviewing.
- Nikola Plecas, [Associate Consultant, Bain & Company]
The narrator made it sounds like a live class rather than standard audio recording on online courses. Building the model elements one by on excel was very instructive, not to mention the excel shortcuts that accompanied them.
Having a pre-populated model template to experiment with, the additional written course materials, and the ease of use as a reference check made it worthwhile.
- Amritha Appaswami, [Vice President, New Orleans Business Alliance ]
The course gives a big picture of what's important for setting up an integrated model.
- Marian Dietzel, [Prokurist, Domino Bau und Handels GmbH]
Akselrod Academy offers a great online course to gain hands-on expertise for financial structure to suit finance novices, but also with in-depth knowledge for advanced professionals.
Integration of Excel-exercises for immediate learning transfer. Also a big plus is the limited time you need to complete the course - perfect for professionals with busy schedules!
- Marko Wolter, [HR Director, DMG MORI AG]
Especially the written course materials were very useful.
Together with the Excel assignments the course gives you a good basis for building models more or less independently.
- Katrin Kandlbinder, [Master of Science, University Regensburg]
The course offered direct insights into how Financial Analysts in the Real Estate industry think and model.
In the course of my studies, I already got insight into how companies conduct their internal financial modelling, hence it was quite interesting to get to know the external perspective. The on-job training with concrete Annual Reports of "real" companies made the course especially worthwhile.

For someone who is just starting their career in banking, with no real finance background, I thought I may have found the course a little complicated, and that I would have been stopping and starting tutorials every minute to research a concept, word or technique.
However, I found the course easy to follow in a clear, progressive and systematic way, concepts and terms were explained in the right amount of detail so that one understood what was going on but didn’t feel as though explanations were too lengthy that it digressed somewhat from the course.
I cannot suggest this course enough for anyone who wants to grasp the basic understandings of a financial model. I am really looking forward to taking more courses with Akselrod Academy in the future!
- Jonathan Reeves, [Associate Director, Lloyds Bank]
Ich kam zwar teilweise der schnellen englischen Sprache nicht hinterher und musste mir die Videos 2x anschauen.
Insgesamt ist der Kurs aber mit den Übungen und Zusatzmaterial jedoch sehr hilfreich. Ich denke auch, dass mir in der Zukunft die Übungen und die Pdf’s helfen werden.
- Stefan Brand, [CEO, brandhochzwei GmbH]
With a background in operations, I have had a lot to learn in finance, including modeling, whilst on my Executive MBA program.
I found this modeling course, which is both comprehensive and easy to follow, to be the perfect supplement to my MBA classes and would recommend it to anyone serious about learning or beefing up their financial modeling skills. Overall, a truly enjoyable experience!
