BUILDING FINANCIAL MODELS
A Guide to Creating and Interpreting
Financial Statements

by
JOHN S. TJIA

This book will teach you how to bring together what you know of finance, accounting, and the spreadsheet to give you a new skill—building financial models. The ability to create and understand models is one of the most valued skills in business and finance today. It’s an expertise that will stand you in good stead in any arena—Wall Street or Main Street—where numbers are important. Whether you are a veteran, just starting out on your career, or still in school, having this expertise can give you a competitive advantage in what you want to do. By the time you have completed the steps laid out in this book, you will have created a working, dynamic spreadsheet financial model with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) that you can use to make projections for industrial/manufacturing companies. (Banks and insurance companies have different flows in their businesses and are not covered in this book.)
