Financial Analysis Education That Actually Prepares You

We're not going to promise you'll become a CFO overnight. But if you're willing to put in six months of focused work starting September 2025, you'll understand profitability analysis in ways that matter for real business decisions.

We've Seen Too Many People Waste Time on Theory

Here's something nobody tells you about financial education: most programs teach you formulas without showing you when those formulas actually break down in messy real-world situations.

Our program came from working with small businesses in Taiwan for eight years. We've watched companies make decisions based on perfectly calculated margins while completely missing the cash flow reality. Or obsess over EBITDA when their real problem was customer concentration.

  • Work with actual financial statements from operating businesses, not sanitized textbook examples
  • Learn when standard metrics help and when they mislead
  • Practice explaining financial concepts to people who don't speak finance
  • Build analysis skills through messy scenarios that don't have neat answers

Three Learning Paths That Fit Different Lives

Some people need evening classes because they're working full-time. Others learn better through intensive weekend sessions. We built the program to work around your actual schedule.

1

Evening Track

Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 7-9:30pm. Starts October 2025, runs through March 2026. Designed for people working standard hours who want consistent weekly progress.

2

Weekend Intensive

Every other Saturday, 9am-4pm. Kicks off November 2025. Good for people with unpredictable weekday schedules or those who prefer longer, focused sessions.

3

Self-Paced Online

Start anytime after September 2025. All materials available immediately, monthly check-ins with instructors. Takes most people 7-9 months to complete at their own rhythm.

You'll Learn From People Who've Done This Work

Both instructors spent years doing financial analysis for actual companies before they started teaching. They know what matters and what's just academic noise.

What You'll Actually Be Able to Do

We don't grade on theory. Your final project involves analyzing a real business and presenting findings to someone who runs a company. Here's what past students typically handle after finishing:

Read financial statements quickly

Spot the important patterns in a P&L or balance sheet within ten minutes instead of staring at numbers for hours trying to figure out what matters.

Explain financial concepts clearly

Talk about margins, cash conversion, or break-even points with business owners who hate accounting jargon. Most of our students say this skill helps more than the calculations.

Build useful analysis models

Create spreadsheets that help answer specific business questions rather than just displaying data in different arrangements.
