Who is the target audience for this?

As someone who has a CS background but would like to learn more about finance but not get too deep into the weeds of math & statistics, would this be a good resource? Or is this more for people who want to break into quant and practice/learn concepts for interviews?

Judging by the content this is probably for people interested in moving into investment banking.

Doesn’t look like stats or advanced math is a major prerequisite.

Yep, no stats or advanced math is needed. My primary focus is to cater to beginner and intermediate users.

For beginners, it is a good tool to understand the basic finance and accounting concepts. It is interactive, you can practice the formulas via quizzes, much more fun than reading a textbook. I suggest you try financial statement module.

For intermediate users, you can practice financial modeling by solving generic modeling problems (3-statements, DCF, LBO, M&A). It will help you build the muscle memory of using the functions/formulas.

For advanced users, I am planning to onboard more industry specific modeling content and practice cases.
