Time Value of Money

Learn the core concepts of time value of money and how to apply them in Excel.

Why This Course?

The fundamental building block of all of finance is "time value of money". Unfortunately, it's poorly taught at most universities.

In this course, I walk you through how to build time value of money problems in Excel, and I do all of it without using a single Powerpoint slide. :)

We'll cover the essentials (PV, FV, etc.), IRR, NPV and by the end we'll discuss some of Excel's particular creations including XIRR and XNPV.

Best of all, you'll have Excel worksheets for all of it so if you get stuck, you'll be able to follow along on the worksheet.

Even if you tried to learn this before or you forgot what you learned years ago, I think you'll like my Excel based approach.

Thanks.
