During this top-level training we will provide you with hands-on tools for building financial models in Excel in order to determine the value of a company:
  • On a stand-alone basis
  • In a Leveraged Buy-Out (LBO) situation

You will learn all the Excel shortcuts needed to become an excellent financial modeller. We will look at various valuation techniques for calculating enterprise value, such as:
