Learn from Market Veterans

Our financial modeling program connects you directly with seasoned practitioners who've shaped Australia's finance landscape for decades.

Meet Our Instructors

Industry Veterans Teaching Real Skills

Our instructors aren't just academics – they're former investment bankers, fund managers, and corporate finance directors who've navigated market crashes, economic booms, and everything in between.

Each brings 15+ years of hands-on experience building models that drove million-dollar decisions. They've worked at firms like Macquarie Bank, ANZ Capital Markets, and boutique advisory houses across Sydney and Melbourne.

When market conditions shifted in 2020, these professionals didn't just adapt their own models – they helped entire teams rebuild forecasting frameworks from scratch. That's the kind of real-world wisdom you won't find in textbooks.

How Experts Actually Teach

Forget lecture halls and PowerPoint marathons. Our instructors work the same way they did in their corporate roles – through hands-on problem solving and real-time feedback.

Each session starts with a genuine business challenge: "This company wants to acquire a competitor, but the due diligence numbers don't add up. Walk me through your analysis." Then they guide you through their actual thought process, sharing the shortcuts and sanity checks that saved them hours in boardroom presentations.

Case-Based Problem Solving

Every lesson centers around real deals our instructors worked on. You'll rebuild the same models they presented to boards and investment committees, learning to spot red flags and validate assumptions under pressure.

One-on-One Model Reviews

Your instructor examines your work the same way senior colleagues did when millions were on the line. They'll show you where professional models differ from textbook examples and why certain shortcuts actually improve accuracy.

Industry Context Integration

Beyond Excel formulas, you'll understand how models fit into broader decision-making processes. When do executives actually trust your numbers? How do you present uncertainty without undermining credibility? These insights only come from lived experience.
