Gain an Advantage by Mastering the Three Topics that Matter the Most in IB Interviews and On the Job:

You can read endlessly about how to prepare for investment banking interviews, internships, and full-time jobs, but it’s always a mix of “soft skills” (communication ability, writing emails, etc.) and “hard skills.”

The BIWS Premium package gives you a leg up over everyone else with detailed training for the three most important “hard skills” in investment banking and private equity:

1 Your ability to answer technical questions and build financial models.

Technical knowledge is required to win finance internships and full-time jobs today. You need to understand the concepts at a deep level so that you’re prepared for any question that comes up – especially at firms such as “elite boutiques” that love to ask outside-the-box questions.

And you also need the accounting, valuation, and financial modeling skills on the job since you’ll be spending a good chunk of your time valuing clients, potential clients, and potential investments.

The Financial Modeling lessons in this package walk you through 10+ case studies, ranging from simple, 30-minute exercises up to 3-hour models, and they explain everything step-by-step with video tutorials, notes, written guides, and more.

2 Your skills with Excel, including the key shortcuts, formulas, and formatting tricks.

All financial modeling work is done in Excel, so you need to be quick with the key shortcuts, formulas, and formatting – or you’ll be stuck at the office at 4 AM wondering how to fix the color coding in your model or set it up for printing.

Our Excel training walks you through everything from the basic navigation shortcuts up to VBA and macros to automate your workflow – and you’ll get our custom Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) and macro package to make you even more efficient.

Along the way, you’ll get plenty of practice exercises to ensure that everything “sticks.”

3 Your PowerPoint skills, including quick alignment, formatting, the slide master, and more.

In most investment banking roles, you spend a lot of time drafting presentations for clients and potential clients… which makes PowerPoint just as important as Excel.

But people tend to assume it’s “easy” to use – which couldn’t be further from the truth. Using the program efficiently for business purposes is completely different from inserting cat animations or drawing pictures.

You’ll boost your productivity by 10x if you master the key shortcuts to align and format slides and you have plenty of example presentations and pitch books to work from – so you get both of these in spades in this training.

Oh, and you’ll also get our full macro package, which automates 25+ common tasks in IB presentations, and you’ll even put it into practice with a dozen exercises where you use thee macros to fix slides.

Our BIWS Premium package is designed around these three critical topics.

Yes, there’s a ton of other stuff in the package, including investment recommendation templates, sample pitch books, practice quizzes, and the end-of-course certification quizzes…

But if you master the core Excel, PowerPoint, and financial modeling skills, the rest is icing on the cake.

What You Get – And What the BIWS Premium Course Will Do for You…

When you’re interviewing for internships and full-time positions at investment banks, you’ll always get a few questions over and over…

  • How good are your Excel skills?
  • How much do you know about accounting?
  • Can you walk me through a valuation or DCF?
  • What happens in a merger model or LBO model when you adjust the assumptions…
  • How would you describe your financial modeling skills?
  • Can you show us a sample presentation you’ve created? How are your PowerPoint skills?

BIWS Premium Case Studies - Company Logos

Master practical financial modeling skills based on well-known global companies and deals, not abstract theory.

When you master real-world techniques and you have ADVANCED knowledge, you automatically improve your chances of landing prime jobs and internships with the top investment banks, private equity firms, and hedge funds.

To succeed in the super-competitive world of investment banking, the hardest part is often “getting your foot in the door”.

BIWS Premium lets you gain advanced-level knowledge via video-based training and case studies based on client advisory presentations, stock pitches, investment recommendations, and more.

You’ll Start by Mastering the Key Excel Shortcuts, Formulas, and Formatting, and Then You’ll Learn How to Automate Your Workflow with VBA

  • Intro, Setup, and Navigation Lessons teach you how to optimize your system and Excel setup, navigate, use the ribbon menu and the format dialog box, and use the key shortcuts for cells, rows, and columns, including absolute and relative references and naming and jumping to cells.
  • Formatting and Printing Lessons cover the key shortcuts for formatting, built-in number formats, date/time/text manipulation, and how to clean up data, set up custom number formats, format financial models, and use conditional formatting.
  • Financial Formula and Lookup Function Lessons teach you logical, arithmetic, and financial functions, as well as lookup functions, INDEX, MATCH, and INDIRECT. You’ll also learn about array functions, OFFSET, sensitivity tables, Goal Seek and Solver, circular references, and XLOOKUP and dynamic array functions in Office 365.
  • Data Manipulation and Analysis Lessons teach you how to use data tables, sorting and filtering, Power Query for importing data from the internet, SUMIFS, SUMPRODUCT, and database functions. You’ll also learn how to use pivot tables and Power Pivot to slice, dice, and aggregate data according to different criteria, and you’ll practice customizing the tables, creating visualizations, and using Calculated Columns and Measures to build KPIs.
  • Chart and Graph Lessons cover graph setup in Excel, ranging from the basic line and column charts up through dynamic charts with checkboxes and scroll bars. You’ll learn how to create charts that are specific to investment banking and finance roles, such as valuation multiple graphs, football field valuation charts, price-volume graphs, and waterfall bridge charts for analysis of companies’ financial results.
  • VBA, Macro, and User-Defined Function Lessons cover programming concepts such as loops, range and cell manipulation, variables and constants, arrays and dictionaries, and string manipulation. You’ll create macros for “Input Box” cell creation and the color-coding and printing of financial models, and then you’ll expand on those by writing macros to cycle number formatting, change the decimal places for numbers with different formats, flip the signs, and flash fill right and down. You’ll also write macros to toggle the error-wrapping of formulas, toggle absolute vs. relative vs. mixed references, go to the min and max of a range, create Tables of Contents, and create Price-Volume Graphs.
