We've been where you want to go. From late nights perfecting DCF models for M&A deals to explaining valuation methodologies to skeptical board members, we understand the practical challenges you'll face.

Caspian Rhodes
Director of Financial Education
After 12 years at Macquarie Bank building models for infrastructure deals worth billions, Caspian noticed a gap between what universities teach and what employers actually need. He spent three years developing our core curriculum, focusing on the kind of practical modeling skills that get you promoted, not just hired. His approach: less theory, more muscle memory.
Vesper Chen
Senior Financial Modeler
Vesper's background spans both sides of the Pacific — she started at Goldman Sachs in Hong Kong before moving to Sydney's corporate finance scene. She's particularly good at explaining complex valuation concepts in ways that stick. Students appreciate her honest feedback about which skills matter most and which shortcuts experienced analysts actually use in practice.
