Wall Street Oasis has trained over 63,000 students at elite corporate and educational institutions for over a decade.
I'm an Econ major student, so I've never been taught how to properly do a model, and WSO's modeling course not only prepped me for modeling but also taught me a lot of tips and tricks that have saved me so much time while building up models. Also, it helped me to ace all my technical interviews.
For those who thinking about getting this course, do it now! You won't regret!
I am not sure how it compares to other LBO courses in terms of value for money (if there are even other LBO online courses out there), but I do want to emphasize that it is an extremely dense course compared to most other online/MOOC courses so the price (probably) scales accordingly compared to standard online course prices from other services.
The theory explanation is straight to the point and clear. I could understand all the concepts to build a complex financial modeling.
Currently I'm working at a M&A company in Brazil, and what I've learnt in this course is very useful for my daily tasks.
I do recommend this course.
The teacher explain complex topics in a simple way.
The teacher explain complex topics in a simple way.
There are questions at the end of each section that could be improved upon, but it's a modeling course not exam prep so it is understanable.
Overall, I would recommend this course to someone interested in learning LBOs.
A solid use of time and great value for money - especially if purchased within the bundles.
However, despite this being of second nature to me, I decided to check out the WSO financial statement modeling course as part of the Elite Modeling package while planning my move to investment advisory. Needless to say, like the other WSO courses, this was a well-planned out course from which even a seasoned professional like me could take away a lot. Knowing various standards that are used in the finance and investment community helps to blend in with the pros.
Would definitely recommend getting not just this but the whole elite modeling package if that's still on offer. Thanks WSO team! :)
Received this as part of a bundle (fantastic value, I might add), and this was the perfect walk through for someone that knows theoretically what an LBO is, but wants a nuts and bolts perspective. Very accessible and quickly brings you up to speed. A very high yield course.

Consider this your first investment in a long career...
After all, you've likely already spent tens of thousands of dollars on college (and perhaps tens of thousands more on an MBA)...
When you start your coveted finance job, you'll be making well over $200,000...
...over $350,000 if you have an MBA...
And that's just the beginning of a long and very lucrative career that could easily net you millions...
Even at thousands of dollars and your ROI would still be huge…
At a fraction of that price, the ROI is even better... When you do the math, it's a no brainer.
And that doesn't include the time you'd have to spend figuring all of this out and the hours of sleep these courses will save you.
Even if you used the free info online, you'd still have to find it, organize it, vet it and test it to get it to work. That would take months… and at that point, you may have missed your window.
The WSO Accounting Foundations Course gives you everything you need to be super-efficient and master Accounting… quickly and easily.
But we're not going to charge you thousands...
We won't even ask for half of that...
