Augmenting somebody's financial modeling skills is an investment in their human capital that can return many multiples of the cost. It not only gives them immediately usable skills as analysts, but it provides users with a framework to understand what drives business value as future managers. Put more concisely, inbuing someone with financial valuation capabilites both increases their productivity as analysts, but also as investors, entrepreneurs and managers.
As I often customize my workshops to fit corporate clients' individual needs, don't hesitate to contact me with any questions so we can talk through your options. Just hit the button below!
