This is where careers in private equity, M&A and corporate finance stall — not on theory, on the model itself.
Given assumptions on revenue, costs, capex, working capital and debt, could you produce a linked income statement, balance sheet and cash flow that actually balances? If not, that is the wall between you and the job.
Sources and uses, purchase price allocation, debt tranches, cash sweep, exit at a multiple, IRR and MOIC. Everyone talks about LBOs. Very few can actually build one in Excel under time pressure.
Valuing a company before an IPO, before an M&A deal, before a fundraise: DCF, WACC, comparables, precedent transactions, football field. Without reps, the number you produce is one you can't defend.
A model no one can read is a model no one funds. Converting your numbers into clean, professional charts and dashboards is what gets an investment committee or a lending bank to say yes.
You can talk through a DCF and still freeze when someone says 'build it, now'. That moment has no second chance — and it repeats at every stage of your career.
Free videos feel productive and leave nothing behind. Skill comes from finishing models yourself, month after month, until the structure is automatic.
The moment you join, here’s exactly what’s waiting inside.
From A to Z, a full financial-modeling case study, ready to open the moment you sign up — no waiting, no drip-feed.
Each model is broken into a clean, step-by-step video series — so you build it with me, click by click, never lost.
The working Excel files at each stage, yours to keep — so you can rebuild from scratch as many times as you want.
The exact prompts we use to accelerate the build — copy, paste, and remove the repetitive work so you can focus on the judgment.
Like hundreds of students every year, I was applying for private-equity analyst roles. I knew finance — DCF, comparables, valuation. I felt ready. Then a recruiter said: “Build me a three-statement model. Right now.”
I froze. I had a master’s in finance — and no one had ever taught me to build a real Excel model from A to Z. I didn’t get the role. And I understood that my degree wasn’t enough.
Books on financial modeling. Workshops. Thousands of euros invested in the one skill no one had bothered to teach me. I learned that building a model turns finance knowledge into a concrete decision tool.
My first real-world models: investment memos on private US companies. For the first time, my work was driving actual allocation decisions — read, and challenged, by professionals.
On a private-equity crowdfunding platform, I built the models used to support investor decisions in equity and bonds. Every model had to be robust. Every assumption had to defend itself.
Business plans submitted to institutional lenders and investors — the highest bar I've ever worked to. I built IFE so you can learn these practical skills through structured, real-world case studies.
Nobody became good at financial modeling by reading about it. You get good the way analysts get good: one model, then another, then another.
A one-off course gives you a weekend of motivation. A model every month gives you a rhythm — and rhythm is what turns knowledge into reflex.
You don't learn to build a three-statement model by watching one. You learn it by opening a blank sheet and finishing it yourself, again and again.
Every new case study adds a sector, a structure, a valuation angle. Twelve months in, you don't have notes — you have a portfolio of models you built.
You don’t subscribe just to watch videos. You subscribe to build the modeling skills firms look for.
Level 10 — build a complete model live.
Not a list of topics you’ve heard of — a list of things you can build, from a blank Excel sheet, under time pressure.
Linked income statement, balance sheet and cash flow that actually balance — from raw operating assumptions.
Sources and uses, purchase price allocation, debt tranches, cash sweep, exit multiple, IRR and MOIC.
DCF, WACC, trading comparables, precedent transactions and a football field you can defend line by line.
Turning your outputs into one-page visuals that an investment committee or a lending bank actually reads.
The prompts that remove formatting, checks and repetitive schedules — so your time goes into judgment, not typing.
Clean assumptions blocks, audit checks, scenario toggles and documentation — the habits that make a model trusted.
Before you subscribe, read this. If any of these is you, save your $49 — we’d rather lose the sale than waste your time.
Our edge is AI that accelerates the grunt work — not a button that replaces the thinking. If you want to skip the understanding, this won't build your skills.
Every case study is build-along. If the file stays closed, nothing changes. This is reps, not entertainment.
We build PE, M&A and hedge-fund-grade models. If VLOOKUP and pivot tables are still new, learn those first — then come back and you'll fly.
If you're a VP staffing analysts on live deals, this is below your level. It's built for the people developing that practical fluency.
If one night out beats building the modeling skill that gets you hired, this probably isn't the right priority for you. No hard feelings.

$49/month is a rounding error on a finance salary — but every real model added to your portfolio makes you the candidate who can actually build.
Other courses charge $2,000+ for generic templates. You get real-world deal scenarios, actual structures, and lender-level scrutiny — every single month.
Subscribe for a month, download the models, learn the mechanics. Stay for the pipeline, or leave once your skills outpace the room.
It’s a simple monthly subscription: $49/month, cancel anytime. You get immediate access to the current case studies and every new model as long as you’re subscribed.
If you know Excel basics (formulas, references) and core concepts (DCF, comparables), yes — this is where you level up. If those are brand new, learn them first, then come back.
A realistic case brief with the raw inputs, a blank starter Excel file, a step-by-step video walkthrough, the finished professional model to compare against, and the AI prompts used to speed up the repetitive parts.
Each case study runs from raw assumptions to a fully linked three-statement model, a transaction structure with debt schedules and returns (IRR / MOIC), a valuation and a one-page investor chart pack. Difficulty increases across the year.
Any recent version of Excel works (Microsoft 365, 2019 or later). Google Sheets can open the files, but some formatting and shortcuts are Excel-specific, so Excel is strongly recommended.
Yes — while you’re subscribed you can access the full library from your dashboard, including every case study released before you joined, and download the files anytime.
You can reach out directly and get help on the specific block that’s blocking you — a broken link in the cash flow, a circular reference, a debt sweep that won’t balance.
Yes. Cancel anytime during the 7 days and you’re not charged. After that it’s $97/month and you can still cancel in one click from your account.
