Financial modeling for a HSer

Hello, As a high schooler, in preporation for the career I want to pursue, what is a good program to familiarize myself with financial modeling? Thank you, any feedback will be appreciated.

This is, for better or worse, the best answer. For now, you're much better off proving you're capable of learning financial modeling than actually learning it. Get into a good school, choose a quantitative major with some rigor, and do well. Unless you can do that, learning modeling is just getting ahead of yourself.

 

Second this, WSP is great. Also, not sure how familiar you are with accounting, but I'd recommend starting there unless you're up to speed. I tried learning modeling before accounting and most of it went over my head.

Thanks, let me know if you ever need an introduction in the industry.
