Description
This course teaches you how to build a complete 3-statement financial model from scratch using a real-world startup case study, Sandy Sandwich Pvt Ltd. Whether you're a finance student, career switcher, or early-stage professional, this course will help you gain practical modeling skills that are critical for roles in Investment Banking, Private Equity, Venture Capital, Equity Research, and Consulting.
We start from the basics, so no prior experience in finance or Excel is required. Each concept is broken down into simple, actionable steps using a business story that grows with the model. As Sandy Sandwich expands its outlets and raises funds, you’ll learn how to model revenue streams, forecast costs, calculate EBITDA, and estimate profits.
You’ll also learn to build a Balance Sheet that reflects real-world assumptions like asset depreciation, loan amortization, inventory, payables, receivables, and working capital cycles. Then we’ll bring it all together in a Cash Flow Statement, so you understand how money moves through a business — from operations to funding to investment.
Along the way, you’ll get:
Templates and working Excel models
Visual explanations of every step
Realistic assumptions from a startup growth perspective
This course doesn’t just teach you how to use formulas, it teaches you how to think like an analyst, connect financial decisions to strategy, and build investor-ready models.
By the end, you’ll walk away with a fully functional financial model and the confidence to apply it in interviews, job roles, or even your own startup journey.
If you're serious about building a finance career or understanding how startups grow through numbers — this is the perfect place to start.
