This comprehensive course from Leila Gharani will equip you with these critical skills – even if you’ve never taken a single finance or accounting class.
When you read financial statements AND provide recommendations, you give yourself an unfair advantage in the workplace.
It’s an advantage that can lead to confidence, praise, and promotions.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve never had formal training and you think you’re unqualified to analyze financial statements.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re working for an employer, run your own business, or you’re an investor.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a CPA or a finance professional who’s been at this for decades.
Upping your game when it comes to analyzing finances is a critical skill. When you not only understand how money is created, how it flows, and how it multiplies, but can also give recommendations… you give yourself one of the most valuable – and lucrative — skills in the world.
Imagine Any Goal You Want To Achieve
For example …
If you can’t look at a financial statement and immediately get the story it’s trying to tell you, the likelihood you’ll achieve any of these goals is far too low.
Here at XelPlus, we refuse to let any of our students pursue these goals so ill-equipped.
But what if things were different? What if you could read a financial statement with the same ease you read a menu at your local restaurant?
What if you could not only see the numbers, but understand the story they’re trying to tell you?
Do you think your chances of achieve any these goals will improve?
Of course they will.
When you speak the language of finance, doors open.
Here’s the thing:
Anybody can learn to read and analyze financial statements. So then why do so many people struggle in this area?
It’s typically because they’re held back by one of these common myths:
3 Common Myths about Financial Analysis
Myth #1: “I’m Not Qualified”
The nice thing about money is that it doesn’t care about your background. If you hold a paper bill in your hand, it doesn’t care where you were born, where you went to school, or how much training you’ve had.
All that matters is the decision you make about where to spend (or not spend) that dollar.
If you look at your company’s P&L and discover an urgent problem, do you think your boss will care about your college degree?
Do you need a finance degree to warn your friend that their hot new stock tip is a bad idea?
You don’t need to have the right qualifications or a special diploma to make better decisions about money. It’s about understanding and interpreting the numbers.
Myth #2: “I Don’t Work In The Finance Department”
It’s a myth that you must work in finance to study financial analysis.
Here at XelPlus, my online training company, we attract students from all different professions.
Our ranks are full of:
The list goes on and on.
And yes, we have the “usual suspects” of accountants, controllers, financial analysts, and CFO’s in our student roster, too.
But what does each of these students have in common? For each of them, understanding finances is critical to their career growth.
It’s hard to think of a profession where you wouldn’t benefit from being more financially savvy.
Myth #3: “There’s Nothing New For Me To Learn”
Be careful because this is a dangerous mindset to adopt. Trust me, I’ve been there before.
After achieving my master’s degree in economics, there were times when I got comfortable. There were times when I stopped pushing myself to learn more. When I failed to explore the unknown.
Each time, I was reminded – often harshly – of how much I have yet to learn. Even though I run an Excel-based YouTube channel with over 2 million subscribers, I still push myself to learn more. Learning never ends.
Maybe you’re reading this message as a seasoned financial pro. You’ve put in the years and already understand more about finance than 99% of the population.
I’m not going to pretend every module in our new course will be a revelation to you. Much of it will be old material you grasped long ago.
But no matter our skillset, isn’t it wise to occasionally go back and review its basics? Isn’t it likely there were one or two things you missed?
Plus, the tools are always getting better. I’m willing to bet we’ve found some nifty Excel tricks you haven’t yet discovered.
Remember, there is always more to learn. And you never know what even a single new insight will unlock.

The Power of Power Query
As a Star Trek fan, I was always in awe of the transporter technology.
It blew my mind how Captain Kirk could locate a spot on a nearby planet, then instantly transport his team to that exact location.
I want your experience inside our new course to be just as instantaneous.
Thanks to a new tool we created here in our XelPlus “laboratory,” now, when you want to find a topic, you can do so instantly.
We’ve gone through every second of every lesson and pulled out the key words & topics. Then, we created an interactive agenda which allows you to quickly locate exactly what you’re looking for.
Once you find your topic, it’s simply a matter of saying “Beam me up!” (not actually required). Click the link and you’ll instantly be transported to the correct lesson and timestamp.
No more wasting hours searching. Find what you need, then get back to work.
Your workday moves fast. Sometimes you don’t even have a minute to spare.
That’s why you’ll love these brand new cheat sheets.
Keep these right beside you at your desk. They may even get more use than your smartphone.
Ask Yourself …
What would even a small improvement in your financial skills be worth over your next five, ten, even twenty years?
How much would having a financial leg up mean for your career?
No, you don’t need to get an MBA and spend $100,000 to learn the most valuable financial analysis skills.
You can learn them from the comfort of your own home. Best of all, you can learn them for a one-time investment of only $179 (excl. taxes).
You’ll get:
You have everything in that list for just $179 (excluding taxes). And again, you never lose access. You can see what a great deal this is.

Most of our students fall into one of these categories:
Is your dream to start a career in corporate finance or the financial services industry? Whether you’re a newbie to finance or at the beginning of your career, Fundamentals in Financial Analysis will make sure you get started the right way.
If you’re ready to deepen your financial knowhow, master new Excel techniques, and advance on the career path, Fundamentals in Financial Analysis will teach you how to fully leverage the language of business.
Take two people, identical in every way – except one.
They were born in the same place, went to the same school, and even have the same job at the same company.
The difference? One person committed to studying the world finance, while the other constantly put it off. Who do you think will be ahead in their careers ten years down the road?
If you don’t learn financial analysis from me, please, learn these skills somewhere.
But in this message, I think I’ve made a good argument why our new course is THE best place to get the financial education you need and deserve. Especially given the price and the potential ROI you can achieve.
See you inside the course!
