Corporate Finance Essentials

Korshub take

IESE Business School's take on corporate finance has attracted over 103,000 learners, and it earns that number by staying genuinely foundational — this is a beginner-level course, not a disguised MBA elective.

The throughline is decision-making: how companies decide what to invest in, how to pay for it, and how to judge whether it worked.

What you'll learn

• Capital budgeting and investment appraisal
• Financial analysis, business valuation, and return on investment
• Capital markets, equities, and portfolio management basics
• Corporate accounting fundamentals that connect to financial decisions

It's a strong starting point for early-career finance professionals, MBA-bound learners, or anyone in a non-finance role — product, operations, marketing — who needs to read a company's financial logic without a finance degree.
