About this course
A financial model is a monthly decision tool, not a file you email an investor. We build one from a blank sheet: real revenue drivers, fixed and variable costs, and a cash-flow statement that tells you exactly when the money runs out — plus conservative, base and optimistic scenarios presented credibly.
