Expert-Led Learning
Learn directly from industry veterans who've spent decades analyzing markets, building portfolios, and teaching others to think critically about financial data
Meet Your Instructors
Our teaching team brings together decades of hands-on experience from major financial institutions, boutique advisory firms, and academic research. They don't just teach theory—they share real stories from the trading floors and boardrooms.
Barnaby Cromwell
Market Structure & Risk Assessment
After fifteen years managing institutional portfolios at Westpac, Barnaby switched to education because he got tired of seeing bright analysts make the same fundamental mistakes. His approach focuses on teaching students to spot red flags before they become expensive lessons.
Freya Blackstone
Comparative Company Analysis
Freya spent a decade building valuation models for merger deals at Macquarie before founding her own boutique research firm. She has this knack for breaking down complex financial statements into stories that actually make sense—even when companies are trying to hide something.
Our Teaching Philosophy
We believe the best way to learn financial analysis is the same way professionals do it—by working with messy, real-world data and learning to ask the right questions. Our students don't memorize formulas; they develop judgment.
Case-Based Learning
Every lesson starts with a real company scenario. Students work through actual financial reports, proxy statements, and market data to understand how theory applies when dealing with incomplete information and time pressure.
Collaborative Problem-Solving
Just like in professional settings, our students work in small teams to tackle complex analysis projects. They learn to debate assumptions, challenge each other's models, and build consensus around investment recommendations.
Practical Application
By the end of our program, students have built their own comparable company models, written investment memos, and presented their analysis to panels of industry professionals who provide honest feedback.
Mentorship That Goes Beyond Coursework
Learning financial analysis isn't just about mastering Excel models or memorizing accounting principles. It's about developing the professional judgment and communication skills that separate competent analysts from exceptional ones.
