Build Financial Models That Actually Work

Most finance courses throw formulas at you and hope something sticks. We teach you how to think through problems first, then show you which tools make sense. Our programs start in September 2025, giving you plenty of time to see if this fits your goals.

How We Teach Financial Modeling

The finance industry has enough people who can plug numbers into templates. What's harder to find are people who understand why certain models work in some situations but fail in others.

01

Problem Definition

Before touching a spreadsheet, you'll learn to identify what question you're actually trying to answer. A valuation model for a tech startup looks nothing like one for a manufacturing company—and for good reason.

02

Structure Design

We show you how to build models that other people can actually use. Clean structure, clear assumptions, and documentation that makes sense six months later when someone asks you to explain your work.

03

Real Scenarios

You'll work through cases based on actual business situations from Vietnam's market. Dealing with incomplete data, changing assumptions, and stakeholders who want different things—that's where real learning happens.

Your Learning Path

Our nine-month program runs from September 2025 through May 2026. Each phase builds on what came before, but we adjust pace based on how participants are progressing.

1

Foundations (Sep-Oct 2025)

Financial statements, accounting basics, and Excel fundamentals. If you already know this stuff, we'll confirm it and move you ahead. If you don't, this is where we make sure everyone's on solid ground.

2

Core Modeling (Nov 2025-Jan 2026)

Building three-statement models, learning when to use DCF versus comparable analysis, understanding how different industries require different approaches. This is where most of the heavy work happens.

3

Advanced Applications (Feb-Apr 2026)

M&A modeling, LBO analysis, and project finance. You'll work on longer projects that require integrating everything you've learned. Some participants find this easier than the core section—depends on how your brain works.

4

Portfolio Project (May 2026)

Build a complete analysis of a company or deal of your choosing. This becomes part of your portfolio when you're job hunting or pitching for internal projects at your current employer.

What Participants Tell Us

The most common feedback we get is that our programs move slower than expected at first, then suddenly click into place. That's intentional. We'd rather spend extra time on fundamentals than have people confused three months in.

People who do well here are usually the ones who ask questions when something doesn't make sense, rather than just copying formulas and hoping for the best.

I came in thinking I'd learn some Excel shortcuts. What I actually learned was how to structure my thinking before I even open a spreadsheet. That's been way more useful than any formula.
