Build Your Financial Analysis Foundation
Most people struggle with reading financial reports because nobody taught them the basics properly. We've spent years figuring out what actually works when teaching this stuff, and honestly, it's simpler than you'd think.

Common Roadblocks We Help You Navigate
After working with hundreds of students across Australia, these are the hurdles that trip people up most often. And yeah, we've built specific ways to handle each one.
Ratio Confusion
People memorize formulas but can't explain what they actually mean. You'll end up calculating numbers without understanding the story they tell about a business.
Real-world examples approachStatement Overwhelm
Balance sheets look like foreign language at first. Our students typically spend their first two weeks just getting comfortable with where to look and what matters versus what's just noise.
Step-by-step breakdown methodContext Missing
Numbers without industry benchmarks are meaningless. Is 15% profit margin good? Depends entirely on the sector. We teach you how to find and apply relevant comparisons.

Why Traditional Courses Miss the Mark
Most programs dump theory on you without showing how analysts actually work. They'll teach you the DuPont model but not how to spot red flags in cash flow statements.
We start with real company reports from Australian businesses. You'll work through actual scenarios that happened during 2024's market shifts. Our autumn 2025 intake focuses heavily on cases from local retail and mining sectors because those are what our students typically encounter first.
The difference? By week four, you're already explaining financial health to family members using their investment questions as practice. That's when it clicks.
Learn From People Who've Been There
Our teaching team isn't just academics. Bryn worked through the 2023 property market downturn analyzing portfolios. Saskia spent five years in corporate finance before she realized she preferred teaching. Ellery still consults part-time, which means she brings fresh examples from current client work.
They remember struggling with the same concepts you will. That perspective matters more than you'd expect when you're stuck on something at 9pm before a deadline.
Sessions run from September 2025 through March 2026, with flexible evening options for people juggling work schedules.
