Finance

This is a comprehensive financial modeling reference that covers DCF, LBO, and M&A analysis with actual formulas and templates. You get DuPont analysis breakdowns, financial ratio benchmarks (like Debt/EBITDA targets of 2-3x for investment grade), and complete frameworks for building valuation models from scratch. The LBO section includes a sources and uses structure plus IRR targets, while the M&A part walks through accretion/dilution math. It's dense with tables and calculations rather than theory. Best for when you're building a financial model or need to remember whether interest coverage should be above 3x or what a reasonable exit multiple looks like. Assumes you know why you're doing a DCF, not how corporate finance works conceptually.
