Build Your Financial Analysis Foundation
Learning financial analysis isn't about shortcuts or quick wins. It's about understanding the numbers that drive business decisions and developing skills that matter in real work environments.
We teach practical financial analysis techniques that help you interpret data, spot trends, and support better business outcomes. Our September 2025 program focuses on fundamentals that actually transfer to professional settings.

What Guides Our Teaching Approach
We've spent years working with people who want to understand financial analysis but don't know where to start. These principles shape how we design our programs.
Start With Real Questions
Every lesson begins with an actual business scenario. When you're analyzing revenue trends or comparing cost structures, you'll work with examples that mirror what analysts encounter in their day-to-day roles.
Practice Makes Sense
Reading about financial ratios is one thing. Calculating them yourself, interpreting the results, and explaining what they mean for a business decision? That's where learning happens. We prioritize hands-on work over passive content consumption.
Context Before Complexity
Financial analysis can feel overwhelming when you dive straight into formulas. We build context first by explaining why businesses track certain metrics and how different stakeholders use financial information to make choices.
Support When Stuck
Everyone hits roadblocks when learning analytical skills. Maybe variance analysis isn't clicking, or you're unsure how to structure a financial report. Our instructors respond to questions within 24 hours during program weeks.
Progress at Your Pace
Life doesn't pause for coursework. Our program structure lets you move through materials during hours that work for you, with weekly checkpoints to keep momentum without overwhelming your schedule.
Skills Over Certificates
A certificate might get your resume noticed, but actual capability gets you hired. We focus on building analytical skills you can demonstrate in interviews and apply from day one in a new role.
Flexible Learning That Fits Your Life
Not everyone learns the same way, and nobody has identical schedules. Our program adapts to different learning preferences and time constraints while maintaining consistent quality.
Self-Paced Core Content
Access video lessons and reading materials whenever suits your schedule. Most students complete weekly modules in 6-8 hours spread across evenings or weekends.
Weekly Practice Sessions
Join optional live sessions each Thursday evening where we work through practice problems together. Can't make it? Recordings and written solutions are posted the next day.
Personal Project Work
Choose a business or industry that interests you and build an analysis project throughout the program. This becomes a portfolio piece you can show potential employers.
Ongoing Access
Program materials remain available for 12 months after completion. Many alumni revisit specific sections when they encounter new challenges in their roles.
Questions People Actually Ask
We've organized common questions by the stage where they typically come up. This helps you understand what to expect at each point in your learning journey.
Before You Start
You're considering the program but want to make sure it's the right fit for your background and goals.
During the Program
You're working through materials and want to maximize your learning experience.

You've finished the program and are thinking about next steps in your career development.

Who Teaches These Programs
Our instructors split their time between teaching and consulting work. Theron spent eight years in corporate finance before transitioning to education, while Rowena built her career analyzing cost structures for manufacturing businesses.
This blend of teaching and active practice means they bring current examples to lessons and understand the challenges students face when transitioning into financial roles. They've both worked with career changers who started with minimal finance background.
Industry Experience First
Both instructors draw from years of professional analysis work. When they explain why certain metrics matter or how to present findings to non-finance stakeholders, they're sharing lessons from actual projects.
Teaching That Adapts
Different students struggle with different concepts. Our instructors adjust their explanations based on where confusion arises and offer multiple approaches to challenging topics.
Responsive Feedback
When you submit project work, you receive detailed comments on both your technical accuracy and how effectively you've communicated your analysis. This helps you develop both calculation skills and business communication.
Real-World Context
Every concept connects back to how it's used in business settings. You'll understand not just how to calculate working capital, but when businesses monitor it closely and what changes might trigger concern.
