Why FMI Foundations
Financial models are used extensively in finance and accounting roles, because they have become the most important decision-making tool in many industries: investment banking, private equity, corporate development, equity research, asset management and credit.
Financial modeling is a discipline that encompasses both knowledge and skills. FMI Foundations is the starting point for the theory and the concepts, designed as a pathway to the practical modeling skills the workplace asks for.
Learn how finance, accounting and Excel come together in real-world financial models.
Develop the knowledge that is expected in early-career finance roles.
Earn a digital LinkedIn badge to show your achievement to recruiters and employers.

Included with the program
The conference ran for 24 continuous hours across five themes. Every session, and the presentation materials that went with them, come with the program rather than being bought separately.
All thirty talks across Excel, technical modeling, AI, industry insight and career. Nothing held back for a higher tier.
Sessions are grouped the way the conference ran, so you can follow one theme end to end.
What the program covers
Learning resources cover how to structure a financial model, the key accounting concepts, and what goes into the schedules and the financial statements.

Key model schedules
Outcomes
Learning resources come from the same experts behind the CFA Program’s Financial Modeling Practical Skills module.

Self-paced from beginning to end.
One payment at the conference price. Twelve months of access to the learning materials and the conference sessions begins straight away.
Fifteen hours covering best practices, model design and flow, the financial statements and the technical skills behind them.
A multiple choice exam taken whenever you are ready, rather than on a fixed sitting date.
Pass and receive a digital badge to share with your network and on your LinkedIn profile.
Going further
FMI Foundations teaches the concepts and checks them with a multiple choice exam. The AFM goes further: a four-hour proctored exam that tests whether you can build the model. Both hold their conference price until September 30, and both include the session recordings.
