Build Models That Actually Work

Financial models aren't decoration for PowerPoint decks. They're tools that help you make real decisions about real money. Our upcoming courses focus on practical skills you'll use straight away.

We're running sessions through late 2025 and into early 2026. Most participants tell us they wish they'd learned this stuff years ago. The good news? You're here now.

What's Coming Up

Each course runs for six weeks. You'll work on actual case studies, not theoretical exercises. Classes meet twice weekly, with homework that won't take over your life.

Fundamentals

Financial Modelling Essentials

Starts: August 11, 2025 Duration: 6 weeks

Start from scratch or fix the gaps in what you already know. We cover the foundations properly so you can build complex models later. Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6pm–8pm AEST. Limited to 15 participants.

Advanced

Scenario Analysis & Sensitivity

Starts: September 22, 2025 Duration: 6 weeks

The real world doesn't follow your base case assumptions. Learn how to stress-test models properly and communicate uncertainty without looking indecisive. For people comfortable with Excel formulas.

Specialized

Real Estate Financial Models

Starts: November 3, 2025 Duration: 6 weeks

Development feasibility, investment analysis, and cash flow projections for property. We use actual Australian projects as case studies. Helpful for developers, investors, and analysts working in property markets.

Intensive

Business Valuation Techniques

DCF, comparable company analysis, and precedent transactions. This one moves quickly and assumes you're already comfortable building three-statement models. Best for analysts and advisors.

Lead Instructor

Spent twelve years building models for corporate finance teams before realizing she enjoyed teaching more than meetings. Still consults on the side, which keeps the course content grounded in what actually happens.

How These Courses Work

We're not fans of courses that teach theory and send you off to figure out the practical bits yourself. Here's what you can expect instead.

1

Real Case Studies

Every lesson works through actual business scenarios. You'll model things like expansion decisions, equipment purchases, and investment opportunities. The messiness of real data is part of the point.

2

Small Class Sizes

Maximum 15 people per course. This isn't scalable or particularly profitable, but it means you get help when you're stuck. Questions don't get lost in massive forums or generic responses.

3

Flexible Schedule Options

Live sessions happen twice weekly, but recordings are available if you miss one. Homework is due weekly but we're realistic about work commitments. Most people spend 3–5 hours per week on coursework.

4

Template Library Access

You'll get a collection of properly-built model templates you can adapt for your own projects. These are the same frameworks we use in consulting work. They'll save you hours of setup time later.

5

Ongoing Support

Course alumni get access to monthly Q&A sessions where you can bring questions from actual projects you're working on. This community aspect turns out to be surprisingly valuable long after the course ends.

Registration Opens Soon

We'll send out enrollment details about six weeks before each course starts. Get in touch if you want to be added to the notification list, or if you have questions about which course makes sense for your situation.
