Financial modelling expert in project finance

The modex pf ® is an online test that covers private equity concepts and it allows you to demonstrate your skills as if you were in an interview

Financial modelling is an essential skill for those working on investment projects or advisory roles in areas such as venture capital, M&A, real estate, project finance or private equity.


It is increasingly common for the key players in this sector to require job applicants to have proficiency in financial modelling as part of their skill-set.
