Online M&A Training Reviews/Testimonials

Good Explanation of M&A modeling

This M&A course was well structured. Everything is explained appropriately. One suggestion, if the videos could fast forward the excel formatting parts, copying and pasting of the same formulas multiple times or excessive repetition of the same thing like showing 5 data tables, debt schedule for every debt category, then it would have been perfect. Thanks, team.

Good One

I learned about the merger modeling course and truly this mergers and acquisitions course is very useful to build up financial modeling skills. Merger modeling helps recognize significant key issues and special assumptions to consider in projecting and forecasting impacts a Merger activity will have to both companies, the acquirer and the target company. This M&A course helped me to understand BS, PL, CF statements projection, combination and adjustments, sensitivity analysis etc., very thoroughly. I liked the training a lot.

Highly recommended!

I would highly recommend anyone interested who wants to make a career in M&A Advisory role to go through the videos which show how merger modeling is done starting from assumptions, to purchase price calculations, to preparing the sources and usage of funds sheet to go about the acquisition then calculating the goodwill created to preparing the proforma P& L, Balance Sheet & Cash Flow statement then completing the prepared statements by calculating the debt repayment schedule since most often the debt is used for acquisition then finally to EPS accretion / (calculation) with sensitivity tables.
