Financial Modeling for Mergers and Acquisitions

О курсе

Learn how to analyze mergers and acquisitions, build financial merger models, and evaluate deal impact using practical investment banking and corporate finance techniques. This course provides hands-on skills in merger modeling, financial statement integration, synergy analysis, accretion/dilution analysis, and purchase price allocation. The course begins with industry and company analysis, helping learners understand market structure, competitive dynamics, and the strategic positioning of Comcast and Time Warner prior to the merger. Learners will evaluate industry trends, company financials, and the strategic rationale behind acquisition decisions. As the course progresses, learners build transaction assumptions and prepare financial statements that form the foundation of a merger model. The course then focuses on integrating financial statements, analyzing accretion and dilution, and identifying revenue and cost synergies to assess the financial impact of the transaction. Advanced modules cover balance sheet combination, purchase price allocation, accounting adjustments, free cash flow analysis, and sensitivity testing to complete a professional merger model. What makes this course unique is its end-to-end, application-focused modeling approach that mirrors real-world investment banking and corporate finance workflows. By the end of the course, learners will be able to confidently build merger models, analyze acquisition scenarios, evaluate strategic transactions, and support M&A decision-making in professional finance environments.
