Hi guys,
I was wondering which Financial Modeling book is the best to learn and practice from it for basic to more advanced bankers?
I was thinking about this one: http://www.amazon.com/Investment-Banking-Valuation-Leveraged-Acquisitions/dp/0470442204/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1256944016&sr=1-8
Do you have any thoughts about it? Does it include exercises?
Thx

Fantastic book... writen by two investment bankers and with real-world stuff, no theories.
There are 4 valuation models that comes with the book... in fact, the book is structured as a step-by-step guide to build the 4 basic models in banking (DCF, Comparable Companies, Precedent Transactions and LBO).
It's really worth it!
Does it contain practice exercises?
Not sure if Project Finance is of interest but, if so, I would recommend Charles Haskell's - Advanced Modelling for Project Finance: http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Modelling-Project-Finance-Charles/dp/184… Active project developer and trainer: His bio is here: http://vaircompanies.com/chip.jsp
I used the book you posted the link for.
Excellent -- well worth the $50!
Covers comps, DCF, LBO's
How does OP's book compare to formal BB training in terms of breadth and depth? I'm thinking of getting it if it's more comprehensive than what I'd learn in formal training...
I'm looking at these two on Amazon. Reviews appear to be good.
