Financial Modeling Statement Course vs Accounting Foundations Course WSO??

Hey guys,

I am trying to get into investment banking and trying to learn the financial statements knowledge required for investment banking. On the Wall Street Oasis course page, there is a financial modeling statement and accounting foundation course. Which one should I pick for investment banking path?


Thank you.

A couple of things...

Are you a business major? If so, you should've been exposed to some accounting/finance concepts. That said, the best route for you at the moment might be the WSO Foundations Package along with the 3-Statement course. You get a better bang for your buck. 

I've found Aswath Damodaran to be extremely helpful. He's very engaging. His YouTube channel has all of his recorded classes about Corporate Finance and he has an Accounting Course. Search through the playlists on his channel: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUkh9m2BorqmKaLrNBjKtFDhpdFdi8f7C

Don't expect to learn everything right away. Steady pace wins the race.
