This course is designed to bridge the gap between finance theory and economic reality. While many students understand both the basics of finance and Microsoft Excel, they are unable to effectively merge these two skills into applicable, real-world financial models. The course will take a “zero-to-sixty” approach to modeling, beginning with Excel basics and best practices, and culminating in the development of a simple leveraged buyout model. No prior knowledge of or experience with financial modeling is required.

Class will take place starting 9/9/2019 every Wednesday 4-6pm.

Please submit your resume, a 100-word description of why you're interested in taking this course, and a brief note on any previous modeling experience to lbodecal2020@gmail.com. All submissions must be in PDF format. Please apply by Saturday (9/12), 11:59PM PST. We will notify you of your enrollment status by Monday (9/14). In order to be considered, please attend the first class on 9/9.
