Overview
All the precision of financial modeling--and none of the complexity
Evidence-based decision making is only as good as the external evidence on which it is based. Financial models uncover potential risks on a company’s balance sheet, but the complexity of these instruments has limited their effectiveness.
Now, Mastering Financial Modeling offers asimplified method for building the fast and accurate financial models serious evidencebased decision makers need.
What sets this practical guide apart is its "learning-on-the-job" approach. Unlike other books that teach modeling in a vacuum, this superior method uses a diverse collection of case studies to convey each step of the building process. "Learning on the job" connects the dots between the proper Excel formulas and functions and the real-world situations where you want to use them. By learning through association, you can absorb the information quickly and have it ready to use whenyou need it.
The book starts right off on building models--from creating a standalone cash flow model through integrating it with an income statement and balance sheet. Along the way, you will master the skill set you need to build advanced financial models. With only a basic knowledgeof accounting and finance, individual investors and financial professionals alike can:
Create a core model and customize it for companies in most industries
Understand every working component of a financial model and what each one tells you about a company
Format cells and sheets in Excel for easily repeatable modeling
Written with the practitioner in mind, MasteringFinancial Modeling shows you how to ensure your model is ready for real-world application by safeguarding it against modeling errors. It covers a full array of Excel's builtin auditing and testing tools and illustrates how to build customized error-checking tools of your own to catch the inaccuracies that typically fall through the cracks.
