TESTIMONIALS

Excel Best Practices

  • “Nothing is more key to becoming a successful investment banking analyst or associate than speed and proficiency. Becoming fast is achieved by becoming efficient. In Excel, program setup and the associated shortcuts can make you incredibly efficient. This course is extremely practical and honed in on the best way to become efficient navigating Excel. As a living testament to the benefits of this program, every analyst at the bulge bracket investment bank where I work has the TTS list of excel shortcuts printed out and posted on his/her cube wall.”
  • “I took a TTS Excel course this past year during my MBA program and found the course immediately useful both on the job and during class. Currently, I am using the online refresher to prepare for job interviews.”
  • “I have always considered myself to have a high proficiency in Excel through my experiences in Finance and Data Management. This course still proved to be invaluable.”

Financial Modeling

  • “As someone who has passed all three CFA exams and worked in private equity, this course is a great tool in applying acquired knowledge.”
  • “Love it. My usage is actually for use in nonprofits and small business - but I got plenty of tips and methods I can use to do my financial projections and analysis more efficiently. Lessons easy to follow at least at my level”
  • “TTS is the best on the Street. I've had training with them through a bulge bracket investment bank for summer internship and through business school classes. Their courses deliver a simple to follow natural progression to building a model. It’s all based on real world application and not just theoretical. After going through the course, you will have the flexibility of building a bare bones model in 30 minutes or a much more elaborate model with additional add-ons that are company specific. Due to the strong foundation TTS develops, it’s easy to add additional complexity. The time saved from learning all the shortcuts is necessary to survive banking and worth the class itself (would recommend doing the excel best practices course for this as well).”
  • “Mastering financial modeling is becoming an essential part of business career even as a management consultant, not even working in a finance role/ within the financial industry. Perhaps just knowing the advanced features of Excel USED to be sufficient. But even then you still don’t have an understanding of how to organize the data from financial statements and 10-Ks in the most efficient manner that delivers the maximum insights. The TTS online course takes a comprehensive, soup to nuts approach and walks you through the entire process through the lens of Excel. Definitely the most practical and comprehensive training I’ve seen. Highly recommended!!!”
