Frequently asked
Are these financial modeling videos free?
The lessons are hosted on YouTube and are publicly available to watch. Some creators also offer paid courses or other materials; check the video description for details.
Where should I start?
Start with a three-statement model if you are new to financial modeling. Once you can link the statements and build a forecast, continue to DCF valuation or LBO modeling.
Do I need Excel to follow along?
A spreadsheet application helps you practise the model builds. Some lessons include downloadable workbooks; check each creator’s description for files and software requirements.
Should I watch every video in a playlist?
No. Choose a topic that matches your goal. For multi-part courses, play the lessons in order; otherwise, use the playlist to jump to the topic you want to practise.
