Sound familiar?

The course showed the formula and skipped the why

Every assumption in a DCF has a reason behind it. Our experts wrote the chapter on each one, so you can defend the number when your manager asks.

It really feels like I'm not learning the reason behind things and am instead just being shown how to plug numbers in a specific part of a spreadsheet.

By design

What we left out on purpose

  • The job behind the exam

    Your CFA provider covers the exam. We teach the models the job asks for.

  • Checked as you build

    Build the model beside the chapter that explains it. You check your own work as you go.

  • After the close

    Pick up a chapter after the close. No day out of the office for a class.

Keep learning on the job. When it hands you a model you haven't built, the course for it is already in the library.
