Knowledge of accounting is a must! Infact, as an analyst you need to master the concepts of accounting.

In this course, you will learn accounting in one hour without the need of using debits and credits. Go through this Investment Banking course in detail, even you are a master in accounting and i bet you will learn something new from this course.

Financial Modeling is one of the most important skills required for Investment Banking.
