Reviews

4.7

What I liked most about the simulation was how much I learned despite not having taken any finance or accounting courses yet. It introduced me to so many new terms and concepts, and by the end, I felt confident having a real conversation about them. It made finance feel approachable and showed me that I can pick up these skills quickly with the right guidance.

I liked that the simulation made me think like a real Commercial Banking team member by analyzing client needs, financial health, and risk. Reviewing The client firm's cash flow growth and DSCR improvement revenue growth made the work feel practical. It increased my interest in Wells Fargo and showed me how I can apply skills from my past internships to the firm.

I highly appreciated how realistic the case study was. Analyzing Pioneera Manufacturing's real-world financial metrics (like DSCR and current ratios) and selecting tailored banking solutions—such as commodity hedging and structured term loans—provided excellent practical depth into commercial banking.
