Why Adventis?
Learn by doing, not by watching
The FMC Program consists of 35 videos and 8 hours of total instruction that provides a step-by-step guide to building your own financial models. You will build a three-statement financial model, public comparables analysis, precedent comparables analysis, discounted cash flow analysis and a leveraged buyout analysis â all from scratch. Earning our certifications requires you to continue practicing your modeling skills after youâve watched the videos.
Access an esteemed network
Adventis has a network of over 700 certified financial professionals and we are certifying over 300 annually. Once you have earned your certification, youâll have opportunities to meet and network with other professionals working at some of the most respected banks and financial institutions in the country.
Impress employers
Our certifications require you to build a fully circular, three-statement financial model within 90 minutes with minimal errors and pass challenging multiple-choice exams with a 90% success ratio. Whether youâre networking or interviewing, Adventis certifications show employers that you have the skills, work ethic, and attention to detail needed for the job.
Improve performance on the job
Earning our certifications provide you with a skill set that will separate you from your peers and enable you to be more productive in Microsoft Excel and will greatly improve your ability to perform high quality analyses and financial modeling tasks.
Prep for interviews

This process requires you to internalize and truly understand all the concepts, which will greatly enhance your ability to be ready for technical questions in interviews.
