Do Modelling courses go too in-depth
As a first year preparing for SA recruiting I am looking at courses like WSP/WSO/BIWS. Do these financial modelling courses go too in-depth ? Is it worth it or should I be focusing on other learning methods.
They’ll be more useful later on but for SA recruiting i would say learn everything just conceptually / at a high level as you’re not gonna get any modeling tests
Any suggestions for resources I got use excluding the M&I 400 questions.
Things I would recommend:
1. Multiples and adjustments to them (eg ifrs16)
2. DCF (simple but you need to be able to take a business plan, build the WACC properly and run the dcf)
3. Paper LBO (few sites have good examples)
4. High level merger model
You won't get asked about anything other than the principles bit doing some practice will help you ingrained that basic knowledge. All if the simple ones you can find for free online.
the biggest thing you'll find with modelling courses is that they tend to focus on public deals. Very few go into depth for a private deal. So you won't learn for example the different types of equity uses in a private deal and how to model that, or the effect of sweet equity on returns. But you'll not need that for a summer stint.
So would watching a DCF being built from scratch (e.g. Rareliquid) be useful ?
Just watch it, see if it’s helpful, and let us know. Not everything needs to be psychoanalyzed! It’s a YouTube video for christs sake
