Financial modelling is one of the most valuable skills for anyone working with numbers, whether you’re a student starting your finance career, a professional looking to advance, or a business owner trying to make better decisions.

 

This practical Financial Modelling Course takes you from the fundamentals of financial modelling to building professional, real-world models using Excel.

 

You’ll learn how to build models from scratch, structure assumptions, forecast revenue and expenses, create integrated financial statements, analyse scenarios, value businesses, model cash flow and use your models to support real business decisions.

 

The course is designed for students, accountants, finance professionals, analysts, freelancers, entrepreneurs and business owners.

 

You don’t need to be an expert in finance or Excel. We start with the fundamentals and gradually build more advanced models using practical examples.

 

By the end of the course, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to build financial models for business planning, budgeting, forecasting, investment analysis and valuation.

 

Learn the skill. Build the model. Make better financial decisions.

 

Meet Your Instructor

Hi, I’m Lahiru Hettiarachchi, a Chartered Management Accountant and finance professional with 8+ years of experience across financial modelling, accounting, FP&A, investment research, valuation and financial analysis.

 

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with leading financial and professional services organisations, including Fitch Ratings and Moody’s Analytics, where I developed experience in financial and investment analysis, research and valuation.

 

I later worked as a Senior Financial Modelling Consultant at Valtech in Edinburgh, helping UK-based businesses build financial models for forecasting, planning and decision-making. My experience spans multiple industries, including energy, consumer, manufacturing, technology, SaaS and real estate.

 

I’m also an experienced freelancer, having completed 90+ projects for 50+ clients on Upwork, working with businesses around the world.

 

I created MonetizeIQ to share the practical skills I’ve developed throughout my career — combining finance, financial modelling, analytics and business decision-making.

 

In this course, I’ll take you beyond Excel formulas and financial theory and show you how professional financial models are actually built and used in the real world.
