Our Journey in Financial Education

2019

Foundation & First Principles

Started with a simple observation: most valuation courses taught theory without real-world application. We began developing our hands-on methodology in Melbourne, working directly with analysts facing actual market challenges.

2021

Methodology Refinement

After training over 200 analysts, we refined our approach based on real feedback. The key insight? People learn valuation best when they work through scenarios they'll actually encounter in their roles.

2023

Digital Transformation

Moved our proven methodology online while maintaining the practical focus. Our virtual workshops now reach analysts across Australia, maintaining the same quality that made our in-person sessions so effective.

2025

Advanced Specialization

This year we're launching specialized tracks for different industries and valuation contexts. Each program builds on our core methodology while addressing specific challenges analysts face in their particular sectors.

How We Actually Teach Valuation

Most courses dump formulas and hope for the best. We start with real companies and work backwards to understand why specific techniques matter. It's messier than textbook examples, but that's exactly the point.

  • Case studies from actual Australian transactions
  • Multiple valuation approaches for same scenario
  • Common mistakes and how to spot them early
  • Building models that actually work in practice
  • Presenting findings to non-technical stakeholders

Real Projects, Real Learning

Every technique we teach comes from situations our participants will face. Here's what makes each approach stick.

Mining Company Valuation

Working through commodity price volatility and reserve estimates. Participants learn to handle uncertainty without getting paralyzed by it.

"Finally understood how to value cyclical businesses properly" - Recent participant feedback

Tech Startup Assessment

When traditional DCF models fall short, what do you do? We explore multiple approaches and learn when each one makes sense.

Key insight: Revenue multiples aren't magic - you need to understand what drives them

Merger Analysis Deep Dive

Synergies sound great in theory. In practice, you need to model them carefully and separate genuine value creation from wishful thinking.

Most merger models are too optimistic - we teach you to build in realistic friction

Lead Valuation Instructor

Spent fifteen years doing valuations for investment banks and corporate development teams before realizing most analysts were learning the hard way - through expensive mistakes. Now I focus on teaching the judgment calls that textbooks skip over.

My approach is practical because I've been there. Made the same modeling errors, presented to skeptical executives, dealt with data that didn't fit neat assumptions. That experience shapes how we structure every program.
