Corporate Finance Training Built for Real Analysts
We've spent years working alongside finance teams in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. And honestly? Most training programs miss the mark. They're either too academic or too simplified.
Our program runs from September 2025 through March 2026. It's structured around what actually matters when you're building models at 11pm or presenting to the board on Tuesday morning.
You'll work through valuation scenarios that mirror the deals happening across Australian markets right now. No theoretical fluff—just the frameworks and judgment calls that separate competent analysts from exceptional ones.
How Our Approach Compares
We're not saying other programs are bad. But there are some real differences in how we structure learning for finance professionals.
Core Curriculum
Six interconnected modules over 24 weeks
Financial Modeling
Build three-statement models that actually hold up under scrutiny. We focus on logic structure and assumption documentation.
Valuation Methods
DCF, comparables, precedent transactions. Learn when each method makes sense and how to defend your numbers.
Deal Structures
M&A mechanics, leverage considerations, and how different structures affect stakeholder returns.
Risk Assessment
Scenario analysis, sensitivity testing, and communicating uncertainty without sounding wishy-washy.
Presentation Skills
Turn your analysis into clear recommendations. Practice with real executives who'll give you honest feedback.
Market Context
Australian regulatory environment, sector dynamics, and how macro trends affect deal making.
Learn From People Who've Done The Work
Our instructors aren't just teachers. They're active in Australian corporate finance and bring current market perspective to every session.
Ronan Kellaway
Lead Instructor, Valuation
Spent 14 years in investment banking before moving to advisory work. Ronan focuses on helping analysts develop judgment around discount rates and terminal values—the stuff that makes or breaks a model.
Freya Thorne
Senior Instructor, Financial Modeling
Freya built models for mining and energy deals across Asia-Pacific markets. She's particular about documentation and error-checking—which sounds boring until you catch a formula error at 2am before a client meeting.
