Course reviews

Pierre’s Financial Due Diligence Course is a Game-Changer!
A few months ago, I had no clue how to conduct proper due diligence or financial analysis. I used to gather revenue figures, put them in a chart, and call it a day—without really understanding the details. This beginner-friendly course broke everything down, from analyzing P&L statements to understanding COGS, expenses, and key financial metrics. Now, I’m faster and more confident in financial analysis. Thanks to this course, I landed an internship at a boutique investment bank—where my first week of training mirrored what I learned here. Plus, discussing financial due diligence in interviews was much easier with the hands-on experience I gained. Highly recommend this course to anyone looking to break into finance. The value is incredible.
