This course will provide you with the basic skills to calculate and interpret the financial ratios of a company using Excel. After you complete this course you will be able to:

  • Work with multiple spreadsheets and manipulate them for your preferences
  • Use the cells easily and understand the basic functions

I encourage you to take notes, and work together with me during the course. This is very important for you to become confident with application of your knowledge.

got a clear picture of all the ratios which I can use at work and accounting studies

By Anna Frei on 8/28/2022

This is an excellent course to learn ratios and simultaneously see how they're calculated in Excel! If you're already familiar with Excel's basic functions, this course will not specifically benefit you in terms of Excel. Nonetheless, it explains financial ratios very well and makes it easy to understand. That is what I enjoy about Stefan's courses - his explanations are simple and really stick in your mind.

By Daryl Beecham on 9/5/2021

This my first time taking a strictly financial ratios course. I have studied financial ratios and struggled with the basic concepts. This course was great. All the fundementaal ratios were taught in a clear and understandable way. This cousre additionally was very concise and that is good. I found it surprising when the insitructor some did not make it to the end. This course was made understandable to anyone who knows what business is. if you don't know business financial ratios this is a goodplace to start learning it. 5stars.

He is very clear and explains this well

By Kevin Vanloo on 7/25/2020

Goof overview - Is a summary of the ratios included with examples?

By Stevan Miletic on 7/10/2020

Sections 4 to 9 are the only ones that actually make some sense, however this could fit in one 10 minute video. Otherwise the course can be viewed as excel basics course which I am sure nobody purchased the course for.

By Jessica Heinz on 2/16/2020

Love that we are physically being shown, but have to read the instructions instead of listening. This ensures that students pay attention if they are to understand.

By Alex Lerner on 9/2/2019

Very thin on added value. The formulas can be looked up anywhere.

By Arturo Zamora Canizalez on 5/31/2017

Claro y ameno. fácil de asimilar.

By Sankara Kumaravel on 4/5/2017
