Financial Analysis Training That Actually Sticks
Our September 2025 program brings together experienced analysts who've spent years working with Australian businesses. They'll walk you through real financial scenarios—the messy ones that don't fit neatly into textbook examples.
We're not promising you'll land a six-figure job. What we can tell you is that past participants have learned to read financial statements without getting that panicky feeling, and several have moved into analyst roles within 18 months of completing the course.
Meet Your Teaching Team
Four professionals who've actually done the work. No academic theory without real-world context—just practical knowledge from people who've been in the trenches.

Dean Carlisle

Investment Analysis

How We Actually Teach This Stuff
Case Work From Real Companies
Every week, you'll dig into actual financial reports from Australian businesses. Some thriving, some struggling. You'll learn to see patterns that indicate whether a company has solid fundamentals or if they're papering over problems.
Small Group Analysis Sessions
We cap groups at eight people. You'll spend hours with your cohort working through scenarios, debating assumptions, and occasionally discovering that your initial analysis was way off—which is exactly when the real learning happens.
Industry Guest Presentations
Throughout the program, CFOs and senior analysts stop by to talk about what they actually look for when reviewing financial data. It's informal, honest, and probably the most valuable two hours each month.
Progressive Skill Building
Week one might feel overwhelming. By week six, you'll be spotting accounting tricks without prompting. We structure content so each session builds on the last—no jumping around randomly between topics.
