Real Financial Modeling That Actually Works
We've been teaching analysts across Australia since 2018 — not because we love spreadsheets (though we do), but because we've seen too many professionals struggle with models that break under pressure. Our approach focuses on building robust, practical skills that hold up in real business situations.
How We Actually Started
Back in 2017, I was consulting with a mining company in Perth. Their financial models were... let's just say they were held together with hope and prayer. One small change in commodity prices would crash the entire valuation framework.
The analyst responsible was brilliant — had an MBA from Melbourne, years of experience. But no one had ever taught him how to build models that could handle real-world complexity. He was spending 60-hour weeks patching problems instead of analyzing opportunities.
"That's when it clicked — most professionals learn financial modeling on the job, piecing together techniques from YouTube videos and outdated templates. There had to be a better way to bridge that gap between academic theory and practical application."
We launched our first program in early 2018 with eight participants from Brisbane and Sydney. The focus was simple: build models that work under pressure, explain assumptions clearly, and create frameworks that others can actually use and modify.
By 2025, we've worked with over 300 analysts across Australia. What I love most is seeing participants move from feeling overwhelmed by complex models to confidently building their own frameworks that senior management actually trusts.
What Makes Our Training Different
Most financial modeling courses focus on formulas and functions. We focus on decision-making frameworks that help you solve actual business problems with confidence.
Real Industry Cases
Every scenario comes from actual consulting projects — mining feasibility studies, retail expansion models, tech startup valuations. You'll work with messy, incomplete data because that's what real analysis looks like.
Stress-Testing Approach
We teach you to build models that don't break when assumptions change. Sensitivity analysis, scenario planning, and Monte Carlo methods become second nature rather than advanced techniques you'll learn "someday."
