4. Financial modelling in MS Excel (24 hours)

This course is designed for accounting and finance professionals who want to move beyond day-to-day execution into strategic financial advising. It is suitable for finance managers, senior accountants, CFOs in training, and anyone preparing for ACCA Dip-IFR who wants applied, practical skills.

The course is developed and taught by Syed Muhammad Ali, a CFO with 20+ years of experience across audit, banking, telecom, and oil & gas sectors.

You get 12 months of full access from the date of purchase. All four courses are self-paced, so you can study on your own schedule within that period.

By the end of the course you will be able to prepare and interpret IFRS financial statements, produce group/consolidated accounts, evaluate capital investment decisions using NPV, IRR, and other techniques, and build professional-level financial models in MS Excel — including P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and valuation models.

A basic understanding of accounting and finance is helpful, but the course is structured to build from foundational to advanced concepts. Professionals at any career stage can benefit, from those new to IFRS to experienced managers looking to fill specific skill gaps.

The course is fully online and pre-recorded. It includes detailed topic and question videos (20–30 minutes each), practical exercises, case studies, and downloadable files. All content is available on the VLS online platform, accessible from any device.

The full Finance Managers Pack is priced at $79 USD, covering all four courses. The four individual courses, if purchased separately, cost over USD 250. A 7-day money-back guarantee is offered; you can request a full refund within 7 days of registration if you are not satisfied.

The pack integrates four complementary subjects at a significantly lower price than purchasing them individually.

The content is designed to work together—for example, your IFRS knowledge directly applies to consolidated statements, and investment appraisal techniques are modelled in Excel. This integrated approach gives you a more cohesive and deeper learning experience than standalone courses.

At the end of the course participants are expected to develop sound knowledge in the following areas.

Financial Reporting
Understand the IAS and IFRS standards in detail. Learn the objective of the accounting standards, making reference to the conceptual framework. Since the course includes extensive practical exercises and case studies, participants are expected to be able to prepare both single company and group accounts, applying the relevant standards for consolidated financial statements.

Financial Management
Investment appraisal is an important knowledge area within the scope of financial management. Our financial management module includes comprehensive tutorials to help you understand the investment decision process and the techniques used to make these decisions, such as payback, discounted payback, ROCE, ARR, NPV, and IRR. Practical exercises further enhance your confidence in preparing and presenting the investment appraisal projects with relevant calculations, tables, and formats.

Financial Modelling
Financial modeling is an essential skill for accounting and finance professionals. Employers place a high value on it, and it is in high demand in the job market. Our financial modeling training takes you from the basics to the professional level. This twenty-hour training is based on practical exercises. The course focuses 30% on honing participants' MS Excel skills and 70% on applying MS Excel to financial modeling. At the end of the course, participants are expected to develop financial models in MS Excel. With respect to financial reporting, the course includes the statement of profit and loss, the statement of financial position, and the statement of cash flow. With respect to financial management, the course covers DCF analysis, NPV, IRR-based capital budgeting models, and business valuations.
