Financial Modeling Concepts They Never Taught You in School

The classroom does exactly what it is designed to do. It introduces concepts, builds technical knowledge and develops analytical thinking. Without that foundation, a career in finance would be difficult to build.

For financial modeling, however, the workplace asks a different set of questions.

Can you build a model that someone else can understand six months from now?
Can you defend the assumptions behind your projections?
Can you explain why a small change in one business driver affects the value of an entire company?

Those questions rarely appear in an exam, yet they shape the decisions organizations make every day.

The good news is that these skills can be learned. They begin with asking better questions, understanding the purpose behind every assumption and recognizing that a financial model is a tool for decision-making, and remains one of the most valuable skills in finance today.

Deborah Adesina, AFM, Financial Modeling Analyst at dbrownconsulting, will be exploring in our upcoming webinar, Financial Modeling Concepts They Never Taught You in School.
