Quick Lesson: Cash Flow Statement, Part 1
Learn the building blocks of a financial model. In this video, we'll build a cash flow statement given an income statement and balance sheet in Excel. The accounting here is a simplified presentation of how the three major financial statements are inter-related and lays the foundation of financial statement models in investment banking.
Many accounting questions that we see time and again in finance interviews are designed to test the understanding explained in this exercise.

Thank you.
Great resource, thanks for sharing your expertise 😉
Does this not double-count Depreciation? Once in the early add-back for D&A and once in accounting for Cash from Investing?
Hi Anthony,
We are only adding back Depreciation once, in the Cash Flow from Operations section, the Cash Flows from Investing section will include spending on Capital Expenditures, Intangible Assets and other Long-term investments.
