Most “self-study” financial modeling training programs are little more than hundreds of pages of text and screenshots.

Not too exciting – or effective.

But not everyone can afford the time and money to go to live seminars and in-person training, especially if you’re not in the industry yet.

Breaking Into Wall Street bridges that gap by providing video-based training on accounting, 3-statement modeling, valuation, discounted cash flow analysis, merger models, and LBO models.

Everything is based on case studies of real companies – Apple, Research in Motion, Microsoft, and Yahoo – and you work through models the way you would at a real bank, using equity research and SEC filings.

Everything You Need to Break Into Investment Banking

When Breaking Into Wall Street originally launched, the focus was on financial modeling fundamentals. Since then the site has expanded to include:

• Advanced Financial Modeling
• Excel & Financial Modeling Fundamentals
• The Networking Ninja Toolkit
• Investment Banking Interview Guide
• PowerPoint Pro

We teach you everything you need to know to break into investment banking – and then to succeed once you start working.

The same team behind Mergers & Inquisitions created Breaking Into Wall Street. You can read their detailed bios there, but here’s a quick summary version:

Brian DeChesare created Mergers & Inquisitions in 2007 based on his experiences starting Internet-based businesses, working in technology, and then in investment banking. He has been a featured speaker on business, finance, and recruiting at leading universities and business schools around the world.

Jerry Chi worked in equities and fixed income trading in Tokyo, and then left to start his own prop trading firm in Beijing, where he successfully grew the company and sold it in early 2009.

Ed Fu is currently attending Harvard Business School. Before that, he was an engineer turned technology investment banker turned venture capitalist.

Kevin Gao created Management Consulted, the web’s leading resources on management consulting, in 2008. He has also been involved with a number of other online businesses since leaving the McKinsey New York office.

Eric Hu defied the odds to break into investment banking coming from the “non-target” school of UCSD. Since finishing his time in banking, he has worked in corporate development at a large Internet company, focusing on partnerships, M&A, and expansion into China.
