When you say starting from scratch, do you have at least a fundamental understand of accounting / corporate finance? If not, I would highly advise at least covering an Accounting 1 course. If you have an undergrad business degree, you should have the basic skills to get started. When you say you want to learn modeling, u should know there are different types of models that serve different purposes for determining the value of a company. I think what would make sense is attempting to build a full 3 statement operating model, then understand fundamentally how a dcf works, then learn how to build a dcf, then from there you should be able to progress to an LBO, and other types. Best resource in my opinion is the wall Streep prep online courses. A bit pricey, and they expect that you have at least some basic understanding of Corp fin, but they go very in-depth. They have a ton of resources / lessons. Once you can build those models from their lessons, building another model from another template should be relatively straight forward.
