Financial Analysis and Valuation, Wall Street Style

This course is Udemy's highest-rated accounting course because it assumes zero financial literacy and moves you from reading a balance sheet to valuing a company using methodologies employed on Wall Street. The instructor worked in hedge funds and Goldman Sachs, so the tools are the real ones: financial ratios, forecasting models, and three main valuation approaches. Rather than drowning you in journal entries, the focus is analysis: What makes a healthy company? What are the numbers saying? How do you build a forecast from historical data?

The teaching style is deliberately visual and entertaining, so complex topics become clear through context and animation, not monotone lecture. Useful whether you're evaluating stocks for investment, considering a startup, or moving into finance professionally. By the end, financial statements shift from intimidating to readable—and you'll know how to derive a target price using methods professionals trust.

About this course

#1 Best Selling Accounting Course on Udemy (Learn Finance and Accounting the Easy Way)! ** ACCORDING TO BUSINESS INSIDER: "Haroun is one of the highest rated professors on Udemy, so you can expect to be in good hands through the course of your education." ** He is the author of the best selling business course on Udemy this year called 'An Entire MBA in 1 Course'

This course will help you understand accounting, finance, financial modeling and valuation from scratch (no prior accounting, finance, modeling or valuation experience is required).

By the end of this course, you will also know how to value companies using several different valuation methodologies that I have used during my Wall Street career so you can come up with target prices for the companies that you are analyzing.

By the end of this course, you will also know how to analyze financial statements using many different financial ratios/formulas that I have used in my hedge fund, Goldman Sachs & venture capital career.

The Learning objectives of the course are as follows:

Understand how to read and analyze financial statements like a Balance Sheet, an Income Statement, and a Cash Flow Statement.
Discover the best modeling practices to be able to create your own financial statements.
Recognize the role macroeconomics plays in modeling.
Identify the different resources to research financial statements of public companies.
Determine how to create a forecasting model from the financial statements.
List the most commonly used valuation methods.
Derive a target price of a stock using three or more valuation methods.
Define and explain the financial metrics used to determine the health of a company.

Lastly, I am teaching this course in a much more visual and entertaining way; I hope you enjoy the course as I always use an 'edutainment' and visualization teaching approach to make complex topics simple/easy to understand.

Thanks,
