Our instructors bring decades of real-world experience from investment banking, corporate finance, and financial consulting to create practical learning experiences that prepare you for today's analytical challenges.
We've built our curriculum around the practical experience of professionals who've worked in the trenches of financial analysis. Each team member brings a unique perspective shaped by years of building models, conducting valuations, and presenting to senior stakeholders in demanding environments.
What sets our approach apart is the focus on real-world application. Rather than theoretical concepts, we teach the techniques and frameworks that actually get used in investment banking, private equity, and corporate development roles.
Miranda spent seven years as an analyst and associate at a bulge bracket investment bank, where she built financial models for M&A transactions worth over billion. Her specialty was creating detailed merger consequence models that helped clients understand the financial impact of complex deals.
Key Experience
Led model reviews for three major healthcare sector mergers, developing custom valuation approaches that became standard templates for her team.
Zara combines her background in structured finance with educational design expertise. She worked for five years in credit risk modeling at a major Australian bank before transitioning to curriculum development, where she's passionate about making complex financial concepts accessible and practical.
Teaching Philosophy
Every lesson should solve a real problem that analysts face. I design our courses around actual case studies from transactions I've worked on, so students learn by doing rather than memorizing formulas.
We believe the best way to learn financial modeling is through hands-on practice with real scenarios. Our curriculum is built around actual deals and situations our instructors encountered during their careers in finance.
Course Structure
Each module starts with a real-world scenario, walks through the analytical framework, and ends with you building a complete model that mirrors what you'd create in a professional setting.
Our team has collectively worked on hundreds of financial models across different industries and transaction types. We've seen what works in practice and what theoretical approaches fall short when deadlines are tight and accuracy is critical.
This experience informs every aspect of our curriculum, from the keyboard shortcuts we teach to the error-checking techniques that prevent costly mistakes in high-stakes situations.
