Live Online Financial Analysis, Modelling and Forecasting Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 800
Boards and lenders expect forecasts that tie together, survive scrutiny and show what happens when assumptions change. You begin by diagnosing financial statements and ratios, then build an integrated three-statement model in which the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow reconcile automatically. Forecasting techniques such as driver-based planning, trend extrapolation and seasonality adjustments are applied to realistic company data, while sensitivity tables and scenario switches show how to handle uncertainty instead of hiding it.
Valuation sessions apply discounted cash flow, terminal value, NPV, IRR and payback to genuine investment decisions, and the final day pulls everything into dashboards and decision memos that leaders can act on. Good spreadsheet design, error checks and audit trails run through every exercise, so your models remain usable long after you build them. Finance analysts, accountants, FP&A teams, credit officers and business planners gain the most. You return to work with reusable model templates, a structured approach to assumptions and the confidence to defend your numbers in front of a sceptical committee.
