This course was great. Before and after spreadsheets were provided for each different lesson, allowing for hands on practice. The instructor was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and I enjoyed listening to him. I would definitely seek out more courses with him as the instructor. The only downside of this course is it could've been a little bit longer. So much great material and learning, but it only counts for 1.5 CPA CPE credits. Based on a 50 minute hour, an additional 8 minutes would've made it 2.0 hours. The instructor could've have elaborated more on some content, especially the NPV and IRR in the bonus lesson. Still one of the best online CPEs.

This course is packed with useful information for would-be financial modelers. I've done a bit of financial modeling in the past without any training and it's great to confirm the things I was doing right and areas I could improve on. I'm more comfortable building the financial statements forecast after taking this course. The time spent on this course is more than 1.5 hrs if you really want to get the most out of it. My accounting background helped me keep up with the pace and lesson as there was a lot of information being covered. It's time well-spent.

Great lesson! Very intelligent instructor! I am light years away from this level, but happy to be exposed to this as I start to evolve in my profession. I am a CPA, but have not been exposed to some of the more advanced accounting concepts. Someone w/o more than a basic accounting background might get lost. In that case, focus on the parts that are relevant to you. Illumeo, you need to fix this box for writing a review. It always goes under the menu on the right side and I can't see what I am typing.

Financial modeling in Excel is the process of building a financial model to represent a transaction, operation & financial information to analyze how a change in one variable can affect the final return so as to make a decision on one or more of the aforementioned financial transactions. This course was presented in way that is easy to follow with the help of provided Excel workbook

I am new to modelling so much of the information is very useful. The course could have used more technical Excel instruction. I now realize that the Balance Sheet, Income Statement, and Cash Flow Statement should be modeled together.The people who would get the most out of this course are management accountants and any company management team member.

instructor was detailed, dynamic, and engaging. I believe the slides could have been fewer in quantity, with more time spent on each slide, as I feel I was constantly flipping through slides at a rapid pace to keep up with the instructor. I appreciated the excel templates along with the solutions, so I could check my work during the course.

Kind of challenging, but well structured and clear. Be prepared to pause a lot while you work alongside the course with your own worksheets. Heavy emphasis on keeping data, calculations and reports segregated for the purpose if integrity and troubleshooting. Overall a good guide to producing reliable, intelligible and useful reports.

This is a great course. I recently start doing budget forecast for my company. I can see a lot of the similarity between this course and actual real life work. This course definitely help me to improve my understanding and the concept behind my work. I also like the few tricks that Blair shares at the end of the course.

Excellent course from Blair, dove into some of these modeling concepts enough to give a good explanation without going so far as to lose sight of the intent. Forecasting has been a point of emphasis at my company, this course will help me apply what I've learned in an area we need it most.

Many courses move too slowly, this one moves at a good speed. This works well for those who already have exposure to the underlying concepts, it ties them together to show how to build forecasting spreadsheets in a very time-efficient way. For newcomers, they may want to pause frequently.
