Financial Modeling & Valuation: Analyze & Forecast

Build practical financial modeling and valuation skills by creating a complete financial model based on the real-world case of Big Books Corp. In this hands-on course, you'll progress from analyzing historical financial performance and forecasting revenues to constructing integrated financial statements and performing business valuation using Excel. You'll learn how to forecast revenue, SG&A, capital expenditures, depreciation, amortization, working capital, debt, and equity while linking the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement into a dynamic financial model. As you advance, you'll calculate key valuation metrics including Free Cash Flow to the Firm (FCFF), Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCFE), Net Present Value (NPV), Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), WACC, enterprise value, equity value, EV/Revenue, and EV/EBITDA to evaluate business performance and compare companies. Designed for learners interested in financial modeling, valuation, corporate finance, equity research, and investment analysis, this course emphasizes both model construction and interpretation. Rather than focusing only on formulas, you'll understand how financial assumptions influence forecasts, valuation outcomes, and business decisions. By the end of the course, you'll be able to build, analyze, forecast, and interpret comprehensive financial models while applying both intrinsic and relative valuation techniques to assess company performance with confidence.
