Re: Premium Package

It really helped me build up a framework on how to build a model from scratch. It will make me more confident in job interviews.

Re: Premium Package

I had two goals in mind when I enrolled in the Premium Package. First, to analyze my fathers business, create a business plan and subsequently a financial forecast that he could use to generate funding from a local bank.

I’m throughly enjoying the course and I’m learning a lot! I don’t actually use a lot of these skills in my current position at work, but watching the videos and developing my understanding of how these models are built has certainly helped improve my knowledge on the financial industry as a whole and I’m sure that will benefit me later in my career.

Much appreciated!

Re: Excel Crash Course

By way of background I’m a Managing Director with a lower middle market investment bank, which is a Finra Broker/Dealer. I’ve been in the investment banking business for 13 years after a long career as a C-level executive.

I have taken WSP’s Financial Modeling Course in the past. The course was very comprehensive, well taught and presented and thorough. So the Excel Crash Course was a natural for me.

I liked the Course. Over time we get into a rut in terms of how we use Excel. Your course opened up new functionality and better ways to use Excel in my work.

We are constantly trying to improve our level of service to our clients. Having robust, sophisticated financial models that articulate the value proposition of our client’s business is critical. WSP’s Excel Crash Course helps us to provide this service.

Re: Accounting Crash Course

Frankly, I’d be screwed without having taken the crash course.

I was wrapping up my sophomore year at the University of Illinois and was/am beginning the IB summer analyst (2019) recruiting process. Once I observed some materials for technical review, I realized that my econ curriculum (econ major) had literally zero accounting involved.

I took the crash course to gain any and all of my accounting knowledge and it certainly served its purpose for helping me become acquainted with the three statements / line-items / intertwining.

While I have only had one interview (JP Morgan) and totally blew it, I feel much better prepared moving forward as a result of having completed the Acct crash course. If there are any non-accounting majors considering trying to land an IB internship without having taken an accounting course through their university, WSP is an absolute must.

Re: Basic Package

I am starting an MBA program in the fall with the ultimate goal of being a buy-side equity research analyst, so I need to refresh my modeling skills before starting the recruiting process.

The choice was between WSP and Breaking Into Wall Street and the average reviews for WSP seemed stronger.

I have greatly enjoyed the course so far. The lessons are clearly taught and the hands-on approach to building a model for AAPL is extremely helpful. The templates that we use are very transferrable to other companies and I plan to utilize them to practice on my own with other companies.

The Basic Package has certainly helped me gain confidence when discussing how one goes about modeling a company. While I haven’t often put this into practice yet, I’m certain it will prove very valuable when I begin recruiting with investment management firms.
