Financial Analysis Training That Actually Prepares You

We've spent years working with Australian businesses—from Brisbane startups to established firms across Queensland. Our program reflects what actually happens in real financial roles, not textbook theory.

Three Paths, One Goal

Starting September 2025, we're offering focused programs designed around actual job requirements. You pick the track that matches where you want to end up.

Core Analysis Track

Six months covering financial modeling, ratio analysis, and reporting standards. You'll work with real company data and learn the tools that analysts use daily—Excel, Power BI, and basic SQL.

Industry Specialist Path

Nine months diving deep into sector-specific analysis. Choose between property, retail, or resources. Each track includes mentorship from professionals currently working in that industry.

Corporate Finance Focus

Twelve months for those aiming at corporate roles. Covers M&A analysis, capital budgeting, and strategic planning. Includes case studies from Australian mid-market deals.

What You'll Actually Learn

Our curriculum changes based on feedback from recent graduates and hiring managers. Here's what we're teaching in 2025.

Financial Statement Deep Dive

Most entry-level roles require you to read and interpret financial statements quickly. We spend the first eight weeks making sure you can do this confidently with Australian companies.

  • Reading annual reports from ASX-listed companies
  • Spotting red flags in cash flow statements
  • Understanding footnotes and audit opinions
  • Comparing companies across different accounting standards
