Financial plans are only as strong as the assumptions behind them. In this hands-on course, learners build a multi-year P&L projection that connects top-down market forecasts with bottom-up sales and cost assumptions, and then stress-test the plan to evaluate resilience under pressure. By the end of the course, learners will confidently model revenue and expenses over three years, run downside scenarios, and propose margin-preserving actions—all core skills for analysts and managers in FP&A, strategy, or operations.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
