Why is the FM course gaining popularity in India?

Introduction Hello dear readers, a very warm welcome to all of you! Today, we have come up with yet another blog that provides information on why the Financial Modeling course is gaining popularity in India. One thing that comes to our mind when we talk about this topic is that, in this era of globalization many businesses are being established and we all know that these businesses heavily rely on data-driven decision-making. Naturally, what happens is that professionals skilled in Financial Modeling are sought after for their ability to analyze and interpret financial data. This is what came to our mind as soon as we heard about the topic, but there is more to it, and we shall discover it in the blog. So, let’s get started.

What is the Financial Modeling (FM) course?

Now, let us understand what is financial modeling all about It is basically the function of constructing an abstract representation, known as a model, of a real-world financial scenario. It is nothing but a process of creating a summary of a company’s income and expenses in a spreadsheet. Why is it needed? What is the need to create an abstract model or a summary in a spreadsheet? It is simply because this mathematical model is designed to represent a very simplified version of the performance of a financial asset or a portfolio of a business. It can also be about how a project or any kind of investment would perform. That spreadsheet we create is used to calculate the impact of a future event or decision. Now, you may also have a question: what is spreadsheet software? It’s generally MS Excel, and the projection is usually based on past performance. In the case of gauging a company’s financial performance, the projection is usually based on documents like the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement.

  Our understanding of Financial Modeling is a little different. We, at EduPristine, personally see it as a first step toward financial planning. And why do we have such a thought process? It is because when you know the past and have a little or, in some cases, a more precise understanding of the expected future scenario; only then are you in a position to make informed decisions and better plan your goals at hand. That makes sense to us!

Reasons for the Financial Modeling (FM) course gaining popularity:

Did you know that, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there is a 9% growth projection in the overall employment of Financial Analysts from 2021 to 2031? It’s big news and a well-supported fact that indicates the Financial Modeling course is and will continue to be in demand in the future. Oh wait, did you also know that pursuing a financial modeling course helps you acquire the skillset required for entry-level jobs in Financial Planning and Analysis, Equity Research, Investment Banking, Credit Research, and many more fields? That’s because the course focuses on fundamentals like finance skills and concepts, including spreadsheet software (MS Excel), financial mathematics, financial statement analysis, project finance, equity modeling, and corporate finance. Isn’t that amazing? It teaches you from the basics and makes you job ready. Practically speaking, the Financial Modeling course is an application-based course, meaning it helps you apply all the knowledge you have learned about financial handling in real-time. It helps you absorb, apply, and present the knowledge learned. This makes the course popular among financial professionals because they understand the value of the application of concepts. One thing that we have understood by being consistently in contact with students, specifically our alumni base, is that employers significantly value these skills. It has helped the students secure interviews and jobs, as this credential provides an edge over their peers. Employers highly value candidates who have the ability to analyze and interpret financial data effectively because it aids them in making important investment decisions.

  Candidates who are serious about their employability learn this skill. We always emphasize that learning something and being able to apply it in real situations are two different things. Candidates truly understand the importance of such a skill when they realize there is no way around it. This course builds on their existing understanding of financial statements. It is this course that shows them how all the financial concepts, both accounting and financial, come together as the model develops. The importance of practicality is proven when they themselves do it. Do you know where this practical ability to analyze and interpret comes from? It’s when the students work on projects during their learning period and work on complex financial models. We at EduPristine address this need by providing students with ample real-life examples and hands-on training with Excel workbooks.

  This industry offers handsome pay, all because of the required ability. There is a saying: people pay for those with skill, knowledge, and the ability to contribute meaningfully to the business. The average salary of an entry-level financial modeling analyst ranges from INR 5 to 8 LPA per year. Now you see why it’s gaining popularity among financial professionals!

Eligibility Criteria

Now, let’s understand the eligibility aspect of the course. There is no specific qualification required for enrolling in the course; however, a background in mathematics, statistics, and economics helps to better understand the complex concepts of financial models.

Conclusion

We vouch for this course and strongly encourage the students who come to us to pursue it without a second thought because we know the benefits it can bring to them as they advance in their careers. This sector is rewarding and offers not only opportunities but also growth, impact, and sustainability along the way, both for their careers and for long-term business growth.
