This was a great refresher course for some of the deeper financial concepts I have not used since undergrad. I think this course is phenomenal for recent college grads starting off their careers in finance or budget. It's a great intro for learning to navigate excel shortcuts. I am 5 years in my career now and have never had the investment banking background but still have been a financial analyst and been involved in raising capital so the concepts covered were a great refresher for me. Additionally the instructor did a great job with playing to the students in the course and our backgrounds and what subjects to go more in-depth with and vice versa.

This financial modeling bootcamp helped me round off my excel shortcut skills. All of the excel shortcuts I didn't already know; I learned in this course. This will help me work fast and smarter. I also appreciated the applicability of the financial analysis we conducted. We moved in a very timely fashion and this was a very productive course that will help me as I start off as an investment analyst.

The financial modeling boot-camp class was a great review for everything I have learned during my undergraduate studies and was also very relevant to my working experience. I also liked that the size of the classes were not too big; this allowed the participants to be actively engaged. As I work in fixed income and while this boot-camp focused on projecting stock price, the research and excel model/setup is very similar so there was very relevant crossover. All in all, I wish I had taken this class earlier this year. Great class.

Great Instructors Mourad and Garfield are experts in their craft.

Abul H.

I took the Financial Modeling Bootcamp. The instructors are very knowledgeable about what they teach and encourage questions throughout the workshop.

Kelvin L.

I had an amazing experience doing private training for Excel for Finance. I learned all the practical applications for the formulas I'm expected to know at my new job - I feel great and super confident at work with my new skills! Very patient and knowledgeable instructor too.

Max D.

I took a private Excel class at NYIM, and it was excellent. The trainer, Mourad, prepared a very good class outline that taught me many useful tools. During our time together, Mourad was patient and changed the direction as he determined what my greatest needs were. I will be taking more classes with NYIM and highly recommend them.

Kevin D.

Great experience, I highly recommend for anyone looking to break into consulting/banking!

Thomas P.

Took the two day Financial Modeling Bootcamp. Extremely informative and useful. Smaller class size allows for one on one help and enables you to really understand the material you are working through. Additionally you build out a model on an actual company during the course, allowing you to perform the same kind of analysis you would use in a real office setting, as opposed to looking at generic accounting problems. Office itself is very nice, and the professors are extremely well informed. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to develop, sharpen, or reestablish their financial modeling skills.

Robert F.

Whether you want a quick refresher or crash course, Financial Modeling in Excel will benefit anyone in the M&A field looking to expand their skills.

Finance Classes in NYC

Finance careers involve money and resource management. Finance professionals simultaneously try to make money stretch as far as they can and guide the business to make intelligent financial decisions. They may spend time analyzing data, pouring over data, and launching deals. Being skilled with numbers and having critical thinking skills is essential to the world of finance.

Within the finance umbrella are many different specialties and job titles; try out career paths such as Financial Analyst, Investment Banker, or Financial Planner. All finance roles require understanding budgets, investments, financial planning, and financial goals. Company decisions hinge on finances. Finance professionals regularly help make important company decisions. 

Why Learn Finance in NYC

Finance is a broad term encompassing many different career paths. 

Some finance professionals may specialize by becoming Financial Analysts–a growing field. Financial Analyst jobs are expected to grow by 9% by the decade's end. Financial Analysts keep tabs on a company’s financial health and improve it by making recommendations. These professionals may work for an investment firm, bank, or corporate finance department. In these roles, Financial Analysts examine financial statements, follow market trends, and gather general economic data before investing. However, Analysts can specialize, primarily if they work for a large corporation with a large finance department. Some may spend time performing risk management while others complete equity research or credit analysis. Financial Analyst jobs pay roughly $80,000 annually in New York and have no mandatory education or licensing requirements. Financial Analysts should complete exams and become licensed to move up in the field. Traditionally, a degree in economics, statistics, or finance would provide a slight advantage; however, companies hiring analysts who completed non-traditional training programs are becoming more common.

Launching a career as an Investment Banker is another option for finance professionals. Most Investment Bankers work for investment banks, private equity firms, or corporate finance departments. A typical Investment Banker facilitates financial transactions and advises organizations with financial decisions. They may partner with a company to raise capital through the stock market or private investors. Or, they may assist a client with a complicated financial deal. Earning about $123,000 annually in New York, Investment Bankers can earn $250,000 or more with experience. Investment Bankers need a degree and extensive communication skills. Taking business communication classes can help you find a job.

Financial Planners or Financial Advisors are also considered finance professionals. These roles typically partner with individuals and families to grow wealth. After examining a client’s current financial situation, they develop a short and long-term financial plan, including investments, retirement planning, tax strategies, and insurance. Financial Planners may work for a large firm such as Charles Schwab or be self-employed. In New York, Financial Planners make about $96,000 per year. Most financial planners have a degree and a CFP (Certified Financial Planner) certification earned with a passing score on the CFP exam. 

Accountants are essential finance professionals needed by individuals, corporations, organizations, and government departments, which is why Accountant jobs are expected to grow by around 6% during the decade. Their primary role is maintaining financial records, preparing financial statements, and ensuring an individual or organization complies with tax laws. Accountants can work for accounting firms such as Deloitte, PwC, or Ernst & Young. Many large corporations or non-profit organizations directly employ accountants, so working at JPMorgan Chase & Co or a local college is another possibility. Accountants can also start their firms. On average, Accountants earn around $66,000 annually in New York. An accounting degree or certificate program is enough to get started in accounting. However, to move up, accountants must take additional courses to become CPAs (Certified Public Accountants). Becoming a CPA involves a significant pay bump: New York CPAs make around $118,000 annually

Finance and technology can come together to create a relatively new FinTech field.

Finally, they will learn to regulate risk. 

AMA focuses on business and finance classes for professionals. In New York, it runs an Advanced Financial Forecasting and Modeling Workshop course. Enrolled students learn to build a financial model and then generate a forecast. They will learn to analyze the forecast results and communicate the essential data to stakeholders.

A closely related field to finance is the field of data analytics. Noble Desktop’s Data Analytics Certificate course can improve your chances of entering the financial analytics field. This class teaches students to extract information from raw data, analyze then produce actionable items for stakeholders. Students will learn how to apply their new skills to the finance field and how to analyze other types of business data using Tableau, SQL, and Python.
