cash flow

Great course, very precise and useful This course provides working knowledge of balance sheet, income statement & cash flow statement, along with basics of calculating net present value to evaluate added value of new ventures in a concise & precise manner.

After tax cash flow chapter I really learned a lot, I like how the questions in the Business and Finance modeling section are all very practical and close to real life scenarios.

Great course, provided a clear and useful presentation of how to use and understand net present value and cash flows.

There were a lot of assumptions that they did not thoroughly explain and went over mostly conceptual cash flow movements.

rather than

Rather than just reading of the slides, it would be much better if we could follow you step by step in calculatons.

Would have preferred that they actually do the demonstration on the excel file, rather than explaining via the literature on the slides.

Turned out to be a course in financials rather than modeling.

little bit

Module 3 and 4 had great content and excellent "what if" questions, but it could use a little bit more of interactiveness by, for example, building up the spreadsheet instead of just pre-filling and handing it out.Overall this is an excellent course.

A little bit too much of a shift towards accounting during the latter half, but still an excellent short course.

financial management

Although I have taken financial accounting and financial management courses before, it was due to this course that I am now able to combine knowledge from both to successfully evaluate projects.

A comprehensive yet doable course on some of the main models in financial management.
