Posted: June 17, 2022 |
We are living in a highly uncertain and unpredictably fast pace. Covid 2 2nd wave has been absolutely destructive and has caused the most pain and pain to the world. I hope that you and secure with your family. Make sure to double-mask in the event that you must leave. I would like to see humanity never be forced to confront this issue in the future, and that we are able to get out of this mess in the shortest time possible. Let me begin this Financial Modeling Course. I'm sure this module has been scheduled for a while. I'm sure, I've spent long to start working on it. There are many reasons behind this delay. But it's the case now. Now we're fully prepared. I'm extremely excited to teach this class I'm sure you're equally excited. There are a few points to keep in mind before we get underway - Financial modeling is a subject that is taught in a classroom or the form of a video. There's a reason for this - when we teach this topic, at any moment, we are likely to start multiple threads and then weave it together at the final. In a sense, there's a lot of jumping, hops crossing, crisscrossing, and even some the art of number playing. Due to the nature of the topic, it is logical to impart this knowledge in a virtual or physical classroom. Imagine it as making the film. You're probably aware that a movie doesn't get shot in a linear manner. There are different scenes that are shot as well as songs recorded. action scenes are edited, shot and patched and then edited to appear as if the whole film. The movie shows scene after scene In a way the financial model is similar. It will become clearer when we dive further. I'm not sure whether financial modeling is taught in the traditional article format. I'm sure I'll make a big mistake in trying this however I believe it's worth a shot. As I mentioned above that learning will not be sequential. We'll have several threads open, and numbers will cross paths and shift between sheets and add to the non-sequential learning model. This is how it will unfold, so be prepared. As you progress your journey, you'll see the fact that Financial Modelling is more of an art form than it is a science. We make a lot of assumptions when creating the financial models. The assumptions could differ depending on their own personal experiences. The good thing lies in the fact that our model design can easily adapt to adjustments and updates. This ability to adapt makes financial modeling an amazing endeavor. What is it that you are learning and what is the reason?It is perhaps a crucial question to ask What exactly is 'Integrated Finance Modelling and why are we required to understand this? Consider a typical company and you will realize it could be comprised of numerous moving components. For instance manufacturing companies could include a team that procures raw materials, a workforce to produce goods, an admin team and finance team and regulators and compliance, marketing, distribution, supply chain R&D and so on. In the face of such a massive undertaking of a company, how can you break down a business into smaller components and gain valuable insights into its operations? How can we measure the effectiveness of a company? This is the place where financial modeling is crucial. In the end, no matter what the business does, it comes into numbers, metrics and. For instance, operations that are successful generate revenue, effective cost management can lead to operating profits. A sound financial policy leads to debt levels that are manageable. effective supply chain management can lead to improved inventory management. A good dividend policy is able to strike an appropriate balance between the business's growth as well as shareholder value. This goes on and on. Our approach to consider this is that you can thoroughly analyze the figures that are presented on the balance sheets, maybe it can open up a way to better understand the company. When I speak of knowing the financial statement, I'm speaking about getting into the smallest specifics; we look at the financial statements line-by-line. Most people think that a simple financial ratio analyses result in an insightful understanding of the business. To a certain extent it can, but we can do much more to understand the business. Understanding better leads to a more informed investment decision. Consider Financial modeling as a systematic method to comprehend the business. Here's what the name"Integrated Financial Modelling", means: Financial Indicates that we're working on the financial statements of the business. Modelling means that we have laid out an organization's financials with precision linking these financial statements and exposing them to a set of equations. The whole thing is known as a model. one that has a specific input (financial declarations) and a particular outcome (valuations). Integrated means that all numbers are interconnected and that no component in the financial model can be left unattended. It will become clearer as you build your financial modeling. The goal of every financial model is helping you to develop a sense of value. The output of model is the firm's share price after taking into account everything that is important. The share price is taken in the models, and then compare the price of shares to the market price of shares, and determine if the stock is valued reasonably, overvalued or overvalued. The most satisfying feeling is when you are confident you are not overvalued and can be purchased at a bargain price on the market. be sure to believe me when I say that.
