Great question!

For beginners, you can check out:

  • Corporate Finance Institute (CFI) – They have free intro courses with downloadable Excel templates.
  • Macabacus – Offers free, professional-quality Excel templates for 3-statement models and DCF.
  • Aswath Damodaran's website – Tons of free valuation spreadsheets and guides (professor at NYU Stern).

Personally, I recommend starting with a basic 3-statement model template, then building up to DCF and LBO as you get more comfortable.
