Recent Reviews:

Robert M says "Financial modeling made simple. Being a CFO I've built my fair share of financials models as well, but I can say I never quite felt comfortable with them. They seemed too big, too cumbersome, and it just seemed like there should be a better way. Chris definitely knows what he is doing and couldn't be a better instructor. Finally I feel empowered to build a solid financial model, in less time, and with much better quality.


About The Course - What You and I Learn Together

As an entrepreneur, you will have many uses for a budget/financial model. If you are looking for investors, one of the first things someone will ask for is your projections. As well for your own peace of mind, don't you want to be able to forecast forward and see how the business will perform given a set of assumptions? All of this can be accomplished with a solid financial model. Learn how to use Microsoft Excel to build your very own forecast / budget!

Let me teach you how to wow investors or impress your boss with a financial model / budget that stand out above everyone else.

By the end of this course, you will have a financial model that is detailed, complete, rock solid and follows ALL of the best business practices for financial modeling!


I have also included a copy of my ebook "Fund Your Startup by Chris Benjamin" which you will find as a download in the last lecture. Learn your options for funding, where to find investors, how to wow them, and lastly the must do steps to successful funding!

What Specifically You and I Will Do In This Course:

This course will be taught primarily by following along in Excel as we build a financial model for a fictional company. We will start with a completely blank Excel workbook, and by the end of the course have a fully functioning financial model.

Students are encouraged to take the course twice. The first time, just follow along, understand not only the formulas, but also the "why" of what we are doing. See the financial model grow and become "alive" as we work through the various tabs. The second time, follow along and work on your own personal financial model.

The time of the course in video content is 5.5 hours, although expect to spend 10 - 20 hours taking this course. In that time we will build a basic financial model which is fully functioning. The additional time is so you can work on your own financial model in between the lectures.

The course is structured in a very step by step methodology. As we work through each section, we'll progress towards the final financial model.

I encourage all entrepreneurs and financially minded people alike to take the course.

Who this course is for:

Entrepreneurs
Startup Companies
Financial Modelers
Bookkeepers
CFO's & CEO's
Excel Users
Anyone who wants to learn financial modeling
