Are you planning to interview for private equity jobs in the near future and are nervous or anxious about the LBO modeling test during the interview?

Private equity firms typically require candidates to take a financial modeling test as part of the interview process, where candidates are asked to build a working LBO model under time pressure, analyzing a company / potential investment opportunity.

The stakes are high, because compensation for private equity associate positions can be very lucrative — often ranging from $200,000 – $350,000 or more annually. That’s 4 – 7x the national household median income by the time you are 24 or 25 years old.

The good news is nailing the LBO modeling test is a highly trainable skill. Unfortunately, many Wall Street LBO modeling courses cost thousands of dollars for a couple days of classroom instruction. 

But our Private Equity Training Videos provide the same hands-on, step-by-step training — at a fraction of the price — on how to build both complex and rapid-form LBO models that the live classes offer. Moreover, there’s no risk of “falling behind” in our course, because you can watch and learn at your own pace and review our examples as many times as you need to develop a strong understanding of how to model PE transactions.

Our LBO modeling course provides tactical knowledge and training on how to nail your LBO modeling test, making it the perfect solution for candidates who have no previous private equity experience, as well as candidates who are looking for a PE modeling refresher.

Our videos will show you how to:

• Think intuitively about the mechanics of LBO finance
• Model leveraged buyouts efficiently in Excel
• Communicate your results effectively with a PowerPoint presentation

All of our training video packages grant you access to all the videos in that package for 1 full year.

We also offer LBO + DCF discount combo packages.

Looking to break into investment banking? Anxiously preparing for corporate finance interviews? Want to jump start mastering financial modeling so you can hit the ground running in your new job?

The stakes are high, because salaries for entry-level analysts and associates in banking and finance are lucrative — often $110,000 – $230,000 or more annually when combining base and bonus. That’s 2 – 5x the national household median income coming straight out of college or grad school.

Succeeding in finance requires strong analytical skills in analyzing and valuing companies. This demands a strong understanding of the mechanics and business judgment involved in modeling financial statements and discounted cash flows.

The good news is: financial modeling and discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis are highly trainable skills. The bad news is: Wall Street modeling classes can cost thousands for just a one-day class.

That’s where our training videos come in. 

Using a well-known public company as our case study — Chipotle Mexican Grill — our 3 Statement and DCF Modeling Video Training Course provides hands-on, “roll-up-your-sleeves,” step-by-step training — at lower cost than competing courses.

We teach you how to build fully integrated financial and valuation models, just like the live classes. But there’s no risk of “falling behind,” because you can learn at your own pace and watch our examples as many times as you need to master financial modeling.

Our training videos focus on critical tactical knowledge and skills, making it the perfect solution for fast learners with no prior finance experience, or experienced candidates who need a financial modeling refresher.

We will teach you how to:

• Build a fully integrated 3 statement financial model in Excel
• Build a DCF analysis using both perpetuity growth and EBITDA multiple methods
• Build detailed supporting schedules linking back to the 3 statements
• Analyze a public company 10-K filing to efficiently extract data needed for your model
• Troubleshoot your model accurately and efficiently when accounts don’t balance or reconcile
• Understand key concepts related to depreciation, amortization, goodwill, circularity, unlevered vs. levered cash flow, terminal value, weighted average cost of capital, capital asset pricing model, and enterprise vs. equity value
• Think intuitively about financial statement mechanics, analysis, and corporate valuation
• Model very efficiently using Excel shortcuts

We also offer DCF + LBO discount combo packages.
