Corporate and Project Finance Modeling: Theory and Practice (Wiley Finance) 1st Edition

Gook book. clearly layed out, however you do need some fundamental knowledge

A must read for all those who are into financial modeling. The book deals with all practical issues one faces while building financial models. I probably have all the books on Financial Modeling that are available in Amazon website. I will rate this book as one of the best. Most of the books on financial modeling talk about business valuation. One rarely finds a good book on project finance modeling (the Euromoney book is an exception). This book fills the void and in one book, you get the fundaments of both corporate and project finance modeling.In addition, the author describes some useful macros that will save lot of your time.

This book is great. Author gives a lot of inside tips that you would only learn on the job. Its an easy read and not too technical.I would suggest to watch the numerous youtube videos as well that are found on the authors site.

I bought this book before working for a project financed business, but also have a background in corporate FP&A and feel comfortable commenting on those pieces as well.There are several nice tips and tricks that you can pick up in this book to help with financial modelling:- How to structure model timelines (e.g., to support history vs. forecast, phases of project financing, etc.);- How to set up cash waterfalls;- How to merge historical information with future information.Two big downsides prevent a higher rating:- As discussed in other reviews, the notes in the Excel models are creepy. Wiley should really force an edit to these if they haven't already.- The author uses a non-standard VBA-based method to implement unavoidable circular logic in models (e.g., Debt Service Reserve Accounts, interest based on average debt balances, etc). Most professional models have standardized on the "circuit breaker" approach (i.e., a named range with a 1/0 that is referenced within any interest or debt reserve accounts, allowing someone to turn off circular logic as needed to repair iterative calculations). If the reader cares about building models that will be recognizable to others in the field, I'd suggest the reader implement via iteration and circuit breakers any of the iterative formulas the author implements in VBA.

Todavia no lo lei. Pero la letra y los cuadro son ilegibles... Tal vez la version Kindle sea mejor. Pero hay que usar aumento..

This is the most understandable and comprehensive resource available on the subject. I have been able to immediately implement many of the concepts into my business. Highly recommended.

An excellent book, makes it easy to understand financial modeling

I ordered this book to learn project finance. The author is clearly knowledgeable but, for whatever reason, he decided to just randomly jump back and forth between corporate and project financial modeling techniques making it very difficult to focus on one or the other. That might not be terrible by itself but he compounds the problem by referencing comparative differences between Corporate and Project modeling so you are basically forced to read everything to follow along. I had wrongly assumed there would be a section focused soley on PF modeling and I could ignore the other parts. Under what circumstances you'd be trying to learn both at the same time, or compare the two methodologies, is lost on me but maybe that just means I'm not the target audience. Additionally, he seems to just ramble on over the 500+ pages with little flow or actionable practice. I'm shocked his editor let this go out this way.I gave it 2-Stars instead of 1 because I could see this book being useful as a desk reference when already working on a model and attempting to solve a single issue, but as a guide for learning, I found it pretty useless. I will be returning it and searching for a more focused text.
