Modeling Education
Who we choose to educate us, and what form that education takes, is among the most fundamentally important decision we make. Each day we learn more, and are directly influenced by the information we allow into our world: the news channels we watch, the communities we live in, the websites we visit. How you choose to educate yourself is a critical decision in all aspects of your life. Your education in accounting, finance, investments, and financial modeling is no different. At Gutenberg Research, we have three unique ways to educate our community members: 1) a comprehensive Certificate in Financial Modeling Program, 2) a self-study textbook Financial Modeling for Equity Research, and 3) an introduction to financial modeling intern program for university students.
Certificate in Financial Modeling Program
|
In this program we build a financial model from the ground up, starting with a blank spreadsheet, and ending with a comprehensive set of interrelated financial statements and share valuation estimates. There are three primary components to the program, all designed to add various elements to your training: 1) the written curriculum, 2) demonstration videos, and 3) supporting spreadsheets. At the completion of this training program you will receive a Certificate in Financial Modeling from The Equity Research Institute at Gutenberg Research. In order to qualify for the Certificate, you must pass our financial modeling exam which covers the topics in the program curriculum, and submit an earnings model based on the methods described in the program curriculum.

The Gutenberg Financial Modeling Virtual Intern Program
|
Our Financial Modeling Intern Program is a part-time, virtual internship, which simulates the experience one would receive working as a sell-side Research Associate at an investment bank. We teach our interns how to use models to estimate a company's future earnings, and publish their work to showcase their modeling skills to future employers.
The intern program is designed as an introduction to financial modeling, focused on model calibration and forecasting. No prior experience is required to participate. |
Financial Modeling for Equity Research
|
This book demonstrates step-by-step how to create a financial model, similar to the models maintained by Wall Street equity research analysts. The accompanying spreadsheets demonstrate the key concepts and can be used as templates to create an earnings model for nearly any company. Readers without prior financial analysis experience will gain a fundamental understanding of exactly what modeling entails, and will learn how to create a basic form of an earnings model. Advanced readers will be introduced to more complex topics such as linking the financial statements, future period calibration, and incorporating macroeconomic variables into discounted valuation analysis through the equity risk premium and application of the capital asset pricing model.
