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 Financial Modeling Cooperative Education Program, 2) a self-study textbook Financial Modeling for Equity Research, and 3) an introduction to financial modeling intern program for university students.
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.

Financial Modeling Cooperative Education Program
|
Our Cooperative Modeling Program is a real-world, real-time financial modeling experience. Our students build a three-statement financial model and project earnings for a public company prior to the quarterly filing. Then on the night of the company’s earnings release, our class analyzes the results, listens to the conference call, and updates the model together as a group. This approach helps give the students a true sell-side research experience.

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.
