3 Resources Every Beginner Should Use to Learn Financial Modeling in 2025

1. Kenji Explains (YouTube) Kenji’s videos are some of the easiest to digest I’ve come across. He comes across as a humble, patient teacher. The engagement speaks for itself — one comment I saw said, “The way you explain things is far better than 99% of the professors I had.” In finance, a lot of education content can feel overly complicated. It doesn’t have to be that way — the best content is simple and clear.

2. r/FinancialModeling (Reddit) A well-moderated community with technical discussions, thoughtful engagement, and peers who are genuinely willing to share ideas and help answer questions.

3. Quantus Finance (App) I built Quantus on the belief that learning by doing is the most effective way to master financial modeling. Think of it as a virtual coach guiding you step by step as you build models. Practice drives real learnings — far more than passively watching videos.
