Hear from a few of our 57,000+ students...
"Compared to other courses, these courses overall gave a much better context of when and how modeling is used, and what cash truly represents, which is something I learned the hard way. I found the instructions in the courses to be very clear. I'd definitely recommend anyone looking to take a comprehensive course on financial modeling."
"Shooting you a quick note because I just got my full-time offer and I wanted to say THANK YOU! I have to say the instructors for these courses are super talented. From Excel to financial statements to Valuation I was really able to go into my internship ready to go and more confident after taking the time to go through these."
"I'd taken another Excel course before but this was much more relevant to me since I was trying to break into investment banking when I took it. I love that you can download the lessons for offline viewing on my commute...thanks for putting this together WSO!"
"Glad to say that this has definitely been one of the more detailed Valuation courses yet. Very useful to see how 'spreading comps' is applied to Companies from many different areas ranging from fashion to wearable tech to luxury brands. Good to see the objectives outlined early on and sufficient introductory lessons to ensure newcomers are able to get up to speed with ease."
"Guys, this Excel Modeling course was awesome because it made Excel fun (or at least much less painful). Even though in my internship they rarely let us touch the models, I definitely think this course helped me impress the analyst I was working with most of the summer and helped me secure a full-time offer. When he asked me to organize some data in Excel for a buyer universe, I think he was pleasantly surprised that I turned it around in under 2 hours and had it beautifully formatted with some bells and whistles. You guys rock, thank you!"
"Regarding the Financial Statement Modeling course, I don't have a traditional finance background and have had limited exposure to financial statements so this was all very new, but necessary and fun for me to learn. I really like Zack as a teacher, he is relatable and takes these somewhat daunting concepts, and breaks them down into easy-to-digest pieces that make the experience fun and enjoyable. The ability to rewatch and relearn the topics on this module was really helpful. My favorite part of the module, however, was the capstone project. It's a great exercise and to put together a financial model on my own, knowing I can go back to these videos for help, is really empowering, especially as a student. The detail and the care that was put into it really stood out, and I know that I have learned amazing skills from this that are going to help me in my internship this summer, but also long after I graduate university. This is a great course 10/10 would recommend!"
"I took the Excel Modeling course as a way to try and get faster in Excel and I have to say it has made a big difference. Not that I'm the traditional student since I'm a bit more senior role at a Big 4, but it was still really helpful for me and made me more confident when reviewing work from clients and my team. I don't think I need the other financial modeling courses since I'm happy with my role, but you never know. Thanks WSO, keep it up!"
"Regarding the Excel Modeling Course, I thought I was an Excel whiz before, but now I know I am because I was able to do the exercises fast enough... but it did take some time. The lessons on conditional formatting, pivot tables, etc were also all relevant to what I did in my F500 internship and my boss definitely noticed my skills when I didn't touch my mouse. I'm excited to try and land an IB internship next year."
"I'm very impressed with the Excel Modeling course! What stands out to me the most is how much knowledge is packed into such a small timeframe. Other courses with this level of detail are ~3-4 times as long. I'm really happy that I've taken this course and do believe that, whether you are a university student/intern or an entry-level professional, you can certainly get some value from this. Unlike other courses online this one you can do over the weekend and bring those new skills to work on Monday."
"The Financial Statement Modeling course is an excellent resource for aspiring or incoming financial analysts. This course pairs excellently with the WSO Excel Modeling course. The two combine to form a powerful training program that I would highly recommend for all aspiring/incoming financial analysts, particularly those interested in investment banking. Zack, the instructor, does an excellent job of walking you through the entire process in an efficient manner that touches on all the important aspects without getting bogged down in the details too much. I cannot recommend this course more highly!"
"I thought it was one of the most informative valuation modeling courses I have taken. I would recommend this course over others I have taken."
"The Wall Street Oasis Valuation course is by far the most in-depth look at valuation I have come across in my academic/professional career. The course goes far beyond the basic concepts taught in the classroom and gives you a front-row seat into what an analyst does on the job and how they value a business in the real world. You'll learn the best practices to become a high-performing analyst and you're provided with plenty of real-world examples to practice with. If you're interested in a career in investment banking/valuation there's no better resource out there to get you ready to hit the ground running and give you a head start on the competition."
