Hi everyone,
I wanted to share Quantus, a finance learning and practice platform I’m building out of my own frustration with traditional resources.
As a dual major in engineering and finance who started my career at a hedge fund, I found it challenging to develop hands-on financial modeling skills using existing tools. Platforms like Coursera, Udemy, Corporate Finance Institute (CFI), and Wall Street Prep (WSP) primarily rely on video-based tutorials. While informative, these formats often lack the dynamic, interactive, and repetitive practice necessary to build real expertise.
For example, the learning process often involves:
  • Replaying videos multiple times to grasp key concepts.
  • Constantly switching between tutorials and Excel files.
  • Dealing with occasional discrepancies between tutorial numbers and the provided Excel materials.
To solve these problems, I created Quantus—an interactive platform where users can learn finance by trying out formulas or building financial models directly in an Excel-like environment. Inspired by LeetCode, the content is organized into three levels—easy, medium, and hard—making it accessible for beginners while still challenging for advanced users.
Our growing library of examples includes:
  • 3-statement financial models
  • Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis
  • Leveraged Buyouts (LBO)
  • Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)
Here’s a demo video to showcase the platform in action.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback! Let me know what other features or examples you’d find useful.
