I know there are some FIG modeling courses focussed on Banks. But I was wondering if there are any good financial modeling courses that might be helpful for someone working in IB focussed on the specialty finance sector. Thanks!

Based on the most helpful WSO content, while there isn't a course specifically tailored to financial modeling for the specialty finance sector mentioned in the context, there are comprehensive financial modeling courses available that cover a broad range of topics and skills that could be beneficial for someone working in investment banking (IB) focused on specialty finance. Here's a breakdown of the courses that could be relevant:
Financial Statement Modeling Course: This course starts with the basics and gradually becomes more complex, linking up the three financial statements. It's a foundational course that would be beneficial for understanding the financials of specialty finance companies.
Excel Modeling Course: Proficiency in Excel is crucial for any financial modeling, including specialty finance. This course would help you build and navigate models efficiently.
Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Modeling Course: DCF is a valuation method that applies to a wide range of industries, including specialty finance.
Valuation Modeling Course: This course would help you understand the valuation principles that are applicable across sectors.
Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) Modeling Course: If your focus within specialty finance includes M&A activities, this course would be particularly relevant.
Leveraged Buyout (LBO) Modeling Course: For IB professionals dealing with buyouts in the specialty finance sector, this course would provide valuable insights.
Additionally, the WSO Elite Modeling Package offers all these courses at a discounted price, which could be a cost-effective way to gain a comprehensive skill set.
For more specialized knowledge in the specialty finance sector, it might be worth looking into the resources section on Wall Street Oasis, which includes various technical knowledge articles and industry reports that could provide more targeted information. Also, keep an eye out for any updates or new courses that might be added to the WSO Academy, as they are continuously expanding their offerings.

Did you find anything useful?
Any suggestions where I can find sample financial models for asset management businesses? I need 3 statements, DCF or LBO models to practise for a FIG interview. Any specific online course suggestion will be helpful too.
Thank you!
