For the Excel novice. This video series attempts to get a new Excel user up to speed as quickly as possible. The content is littered with Peter Lynch’s favorite Excel tricks.
This series introduces the three primary financial statements with clear visuals in the context of building a financial model. Even if you have had some exposure to financial statements previously, this is a good place to start.
As it relates to financial modeling, a thorough understanding of how the financial statements are integrated is possibly the most important thing you can learn. This series will take you through this process using multiple examples and exercises.
Building a DCF model introduces some of the most critical aspects of finance. Even if you do not intend to follow a career path that requires this skill set, the lessons learned will prove valuable in any aspect of your life where time and money are important.

We believe that financial literacy is paramount, which is why we want to keep as much material free and easily accessible as possible. We also want to continue to develop the best resource available, and ensure that the website will remain in place forever. To support this endeavor and abide by our ethos, ASM charges primarily for testing and maintains enough free content to adequately introduce the subject to new users. Membership provides the ability to monitor your progress and share your results with the world.
If this is a concept you believe in please sign up. More subscribers will permit the development of new material and greater technology.
Financial modeling does not take place exclusively in Excel. It is a unique skill that hones the ability to make complex financial matters simple by identifying what is actually important.
The skill set can help you visualize the variables that create or consume cash in a company, or help you decide between investment opportunities. You may never build a discounted cash flow model in your life, but understanding how money loses value over time will help you create value in the long run.
Just noticed you. You should model. And yes, of course I mean financially.
