Dear Friends,

Wall Street Training & Advisory, Inc. ("WST") was founded to bridge the gap between academic theory and on-the-job training. Our clients tell us we are extremely effective – we accomplish this in several ways.

Many financial modeling courses claim to be "interactive" in that you sit in class, building a model as the trainer reads out formulas. They are giving you a fish, while we teach you how to fish. We prod and encourage participants to uncover answers on their own by asking the right leading questions. WST does not settle for average, or a mere baseline level of knowledge.

All our instructors are experienced practitioners that still execute deals. We're not staffed with second year analysts teaching basic models and spreading comps. WST's centralized strength ensures that you aren't getting watered down material from one of many disjointed franchise locations.

In addition, our Training+ offering enables us to design our programs to extend beyond a typical financial modeling and Excel class. Maybe you're in a room filled with specialized industry analysts who are constructing one unified model that's complex enough to precisely fine-tune, yet elegant enough to be accurate. This is where WST shines.

Or perhaps you're the CFO of a mid-sized startup, deciding how much debt to take on before you launch your new growth initiative. With our advisory and consulting practice, you can navigate these types of problems with confidence. Let us know how we can help.

Sincerely,
Hamilton Lin
