FIN 3123 Financial Management is the Mississippi State course on how a business analyzes its numbers, plans, and decides where money comes from and where it goes. It stacks on economics, accounting, and business statistics, so the first weeks often feel like a review that suddenly turns into new material.

Three credit hours of lecture. The catalog describes it as a study of the objectives, tools, methods, and problems of financial management, covering financial analysis, planning and control, sources and uses of funds, capital budgeting decisions, and working capital.
EC 2123, ACC 2013, and BQA 2113. That mix means you arrive with some economics, the accounting vocabulary, and the statistics from the business quantitative analysis course, and the class expects all three.
Capital budgeting and the sources and uses of funds are the heavy parts. A capital budgeting question can run a full page, and one wrong cash flow in the first line carries through every later step.
Every exam in this course eventually asks you to turn a business situation into cash flows. The NPV guide and calculator below let you test your own numbers, and the midterm guide shows what a typical first exam asks for.

Ratio analysis looks backward at what happened, while planning looks forward at what a company needs. Students mix the two up on exams. We practice taking one set of statements through both questions.
Before NPV or IRR, you need the right cash flows: after-tax operating cash, depreciation shields, working capital swings, and the end-of-project effects. We build a checklist you can run in your head on every problem.
Cash, receivables, inventory, and payables each have their own tradeoffs, and the exam asks you to decide, not just calculate. We practice explaining the choice in a sentence after the numbers.
FIN 3123 is the Financial Management course in the Mississippi State catalog, and the three prerequisites tell you it sits after the first economics, accounting, and business statistics classes. Check your degree audit for where it falls in your plan, since requirements vary by major.
Send me what you're stuck on: a problem set, slides, your last midterm, a practice exam, last week's quiz.
You walk me through a problem out loud. It usually takes a few minutes to hear where the reasoning goes sideways. We fix that piece and rebuild from there, so you know why each step works.
The real test: a fresh problem with new numbers and different wording, the way a midterm would ask it, and you solve it yourself. I don't complete assignments or hand over answers. You leave able to do the work.
I’m Chi Odogwu. I have a B.S. in Business with a finance specialization from Liberty University, earned summa cum laude in three years, and a Master’s in International Economics and Finance from Brandeis. I tutored IB students in grad school, did valuation and private equity consulting at PwC, taught MBA finance at Florida State, and spent three years as an adjunct professor teaching Business Finance.
The catalog lists financial analysis, planning, control, sources and uses of funds, capital budgeting decisions, and working capital management. Your instructor decides the order and the weight of each part.
I don't name or rate professors, since they change from term to term. What helps is your syllabus and any graded quizzes, because those show what your section actually tests.
Check your syllabus. I couldn't find a published calculator rule, and sections can differ. We practice on the model you are allowed to use.
Tutoring on concepts and practice problems is generally fine, but policies on graded work vary by course. I don't complete graded assignments. Check your syllabus's collaboration policy, and if you're unsure, ask your professor.
Tell me your course and what isn’t clicking. I’ll tell you honestly whether I can help.
