Resources That Actually Help You Build Models
We've spent years working with analysts who needed clearer ways to approach financial modeling. These materials reflect what actually works when you're staring at spreadsheets at 11 PM trying to make sense of cash flow projections. No fluff—just practical resources you can use right away.
Everything You Need in One Place
We built this library because analysts kept asking us for templates, examples, and references they could trust. You'll find materials organized by what you're actually trying to accomplish—not by academic categories that sound impressive but don't help when you're under deadline.
Model Templates & Frameworks
Spreadsheet structures that have been tested in real projects. These aren't theoretical—they're what we use ourselves when building DCF, LBO, and merger models.
Case Study Walkthroughs
Detailed breakdowns of actual modeling scenarios. We show you the thinking process, not just the final numbers. Available starting August 2025.
Reference Guides
Quick lookups for formulas, valuation approaches, and accounting treatments. The kind of thing you bookmark and come back to constantly.
Learn From Analysts Who've Been There
Our contributors have built hundreds of models across different sectors. They know what trips people up and how to explain things without making you feel like you're reading a textbook.
Patricia Cheng
Senior Financial Analyst
Patricia spent eight years doing M&A work before she started teaching modeling. She's particularly good at explaining why certain approaches work better than others—and when to break the rules everyone thinks are absolute.
Monica Reeves
Corporate Finance Specialist
Monica works with tech companies on valuation and forecasting. Her materials focus on dealing with high-growth scenarios and businesses that don't fit traditional modeling assumptions. Really helpful stuff if you're working outside traditional industries.
Three Ways to Approach These Materials
People learn differently. Some want structured progression, others need specific answers to immediate problems. We've organized our resources to support however you work best. Mix and match—there's no required order.
