Building financial expertise through structured learning and practical skill development

Build Financial Models That Actually Work

Most spreadsheets fail because they're built backwards. We teach you to think like an analyst first, then build models that stand up to scrutiny. Programs starting September 2025.

Why Traditional Finance Courses Miss the Mark

After watching hundreds of students struggle with standard finance education, I noticed something. The problem wasn't their math skills or work ethic.

They were being taught formulas without context. Building models without understanding what the business actually does. Running sensitivity analyses on assumptions they couldn't justify.

So we changed our approach entirely. Students spend their first month just reading annual reports and investor presentations. No Excel. No formulas. Just understanding how businesses make money.

  • Start with business mechanics before touching spreadsheets
  • Learn from real company filings, not sanitized case studies
  • Build models incrementally with each component fully understood
  • Practice defensive modeling that survives executive scrutiny

How Our Method Actually Plays Out

The progression might seem slower than boot camps promising results in weeks, but these foundations actually stick.

1

Business Analysis Phase

Two months reading company filings, transcripts, and industry reports. You'll analyze 12 companies across different sectors before building a single model.

2

Model Construction

Build your first complete three-statement model over six weeks. Every line item gets justified. Every assumption gets documented. Every error gets caught before it compounds.

3

Real-World Application

Final two months working with live market data and current transactions. Your models need to handle messy reality, not just textbook scenarios.

Some students move into analyst roles. Others improve their current positions. A few just wanted to understand their own investments better. Results depend entirely on what you put into the work.

What Students Say After Six Months

The first month felt painfully slow. Just reading reports and breaking down business models on paper. But when we finally opened Excel in month two, everything clicked immediately. I understood what every formula was actually calculating.

I'd taken two other finance courses before this one. Both promised quick results and focused heavily on shortcuts. This program made me rebuild everything from scratch. Frustrating at times, but now my models actually survive when executives start asking questions.

Next Cohort Begins September 2025

Class size stays limited to maintain quality feedback on your models. Applications open in June. If you're ready to learn financial modeling properly rather than quickly, we should talk.
