Course Overview
Learn Finance & Accounting from Scratch by an Award Winning MBA Professor, Ivy Grad, worked @ Goldman & VC
#1 Best Selling Accounting Course on Udemy (Learn Finance and Accounting the Easy Way)! ** ACCORDING TO BUSINESS INSIDER: "Haroun is one of the highest rated professors on Udemy, so you can expect to be in good hands through the course of your education." ** He is the author of the best selling business course on Udemy this year called 'An Entire MBA in 1 Course'
This course will help you understand accounting, finance, financial modeling and valuation from scratch (no prior accounting, finance, modeling or valuation experience is required).
By the end of this course, you will also know how to value companies using several different valuation methodologies that I have used during my Wall Street career so you can come up with target prices for the companies that you are analyzing.
By the end of this course, you will also know how to analyze financial statements using many different financial ratios/formulas that I have used in my hedge fund, Goldman Sachs & venture capital career.
The Learning objectives of the course are as follows:
Understand how to read and analyze financial statements like a Balance Sheet, an Income Statement, and a Cash Flow Statement.
Discover the best modeling practices to be able to create your own financial statements.
Recognize the role macroeconomics plays in modeling.
Identify the different resources to research financial statements of public companies.
Determine how to create a forecasting model from the financial statements.
List the most commonly used valuation methods.
Derive a target price of a stock using three or more valuation methods.
Define and explain the financial metrics used to determine the health of a company.
Lastly, I am teaching this course in a much more visual and entertaining way; I hope you enjoy the course as I always use an 'edutainment' and visualization teaching approach to make complex topics simple/easy to understand.
Thanks,
Chris Haroun

Thank you, Chris Haroun, for an excellent and detailed course. The resources provided are fantastic, and the content is a perfect foundation for beginners learning about financial statements. However, based on the course title, I was expecting a bit more focus on the accounting side, particularly foundational concepts like the five golden rules of accounting. Thank you again for putting together such a solid introductory course!

Chris is very knowledge and the overall course was "good" 3 stars.... However as a Data Scientist i did not find this course to be "introduction level" as implied in the title of this course. The lack of in-depth explanation for the majority of the educational concepts was disappointing. I would rather spend 4 hours covering 2 subject materials and master it.... then trying to cram 4 different finance concepts in a 4 hour learning window which occurred here in this course. I will be enrolling in "The Complete Financial Analyst Training & Investing Course" which is 22hrs where hopefully the lessons are slowed down....

the animation is a bit old since the course is from 2016, other than that it covers pretty much everything that you paid for in a very entertaining and comprehensive way. I really liked it - worth the investment especially if you are a beginner!

A basic course taught by an experienced lecturer in the relevant field, with practical evaluation sheets that do not overwhelm the user. Continuous review questions and a short final exam under exam conditions make it possible to assess learning progress.
