Welcome to the Course Excel for financial analysis, where you will learn both the financial analytics
concept as well as the implementation and exit.
My name is Michelle and along with my co instructor Puckridge, I'll be leading you through this course
as instructors.
Our courses have been enrolled by over seven hundred thousand students worldwide, the bolthole, engineering
and MBA degrees and have experience of data analytics and consulting industry and today's data driven
world.
More and more companies are looking for people skilled in finance and analytics.
On the other hand, students are facing difficulty in figuring out where to start this topic.
The available study material on this topic is either too generic or focuses completely on the chording
part.
A perfectly balanced course is really hard to find.
We have designed this course for the people who are beginning their career in financial analysis and
modeling.
I need a sound understanding of financial analytics concepts without going too deep in the coding part.
If you put one out day in discourse within 15 days, you will be able to master financial analysis.
Using exit will start the scores by learning how to use formulas and functions in Excel.
Then we will look at the important financial functions that Excel provides us.
Will also see how to do horizontal and vertical analysis of a firm's profit and loss statement, after
which we will cover financial ratio analysis and dissection.
Then we will look at different types of charts and dashboards which we can use to visualize our data.
Then we will see the application of pivot tables for slicing and dicing the data to create some reports.
After this, we will learn the concept of predictive modeling using linear regression.
At the end, we will also create a completely new regression model in Excel from Scratch.
The ideal student for this course is a finance professional who wants to expand on the current skills
of a student who wants to have a career in the field of financial analysis and modeling.
There are no prerequisites for this course.
We only ask that you do the practical exercises side by side.
