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: Premium Package

I just finished my junior year and secured a job in IB for this summer. I was not an absolute novice to the course material, but there are advanced topics in finance that can be a little esoteric and my main goal was to get a grasp on some of the accounting topics and considerations in M&A.

I am a few videos away from finishing the M&A modeling, and I love it. I finally understood why every IB interviewer asked about what happens when depreciation is increased!

Hopefully I will be able to apply much, if not all, that I have learned so far to my internship this summer.

Re: Premium Package

I have about 8 years of experience in both financial analysis and risk analysis and my CFO recommended Wall Street Prep when I wanted to refresh/renew some financial teachings since the work world is much different than a classroom.

I am very pleased with the self-taught process and ability to jump between lessons. A great resource!

Re: Premium Package

I am still working with some of the coursework but I’m generally quite impressed with the thoroughness and ease of understanding. In terms of comprehensiveness my research found WSP is the most advanced, and I’ve been very happy with the curriculum.

Re: Basic Package

Re: Basic Package

My main goal was to brush up on financial statements/modeling and learn some useful excel tricks before I started my full-time job as a commercial banking analyst post graduation.

The course definitely allowed me to do that. It was very enjoyable and hands-on. Once I completed it, I re-did the entire exercise for a different company.

I chose WSP over Breaking into Wall Street because a) WSP has more brand recognition, and b) I could upgrade later on to the premium version if I wanted to with WSP.

The Basic Package helped me become more confident before moving into my new job. Hopefully this will further develop my knowledge and skill, and help me to be more recognizable to bankers at bulge brackets.
