Corporate Finance Institute (CFI) is an online training and education platform for finance and investment professionals based in Vancouver Canada. It provides courses and certifications in financial modeling, valuation, and other corporate finance topics. This includes the skills CFI deems important for modern finance - such as Microsoft Excel, presentation and visuals - as well as underlying knowledge of accounting and business strategy.
CFI is a provider of certification programs including Financial Modeling & Valuation Analyst (FMVA),[1] Commercial Banking & Credit Analyst (CBCA), Capital Markets and Securities Analyst (CMSA), and Business Intelligence and Data Analyst (BIDA). All CFI courses are delivered online.
The organization was incorporated as a joint venture with MDA Training (MDA), a London-based financial training company founded in 1988 by Professor Walter Reid, who was one of the founding professors of the London Business School (LBS).[2]
In 2021, Corporate Finance Institute acquired Macabacus, a Microsoft Office Add-In for finance professionals, with tens of thousands of monthly and annual subscribers.[3]
