Korshub's take

Valuation and financial modeling, explained simply

If finance or accounting is your field—or your destination—you need to build a discounted cash flow (DCF) model. It sounds complex, but this course builds it piece by piece in Excel, starting from the ground up with no prerequisite knowledge.

You'll calculate weighted average cost of capital (WACC), cost of equity via CAPM, and terminal value. Then you'll value companies using both the DCF and multiples approach. A fictional private company serves as your real-world case study, so the logic stays concrete. The course also covers project feasibility using IRR, ROE, NPV, and break-even analysis.

The workbook is dense but readable—no fluff, every concept applied immediately. Everything you learn here translates to your next analysis on the job.
