How We Actually Teach
Forget cookie-cutter finance courses. Our approach mirrors how real investment committees operate—messy, complex, and incredibly rewarding when you get it right.
Start with Real Problems
Every session begins with actual capital budgeting dilemmas our instructors faced. You'll work through the same constraints, incomplete data, and stakeholder pressures they encountered.
Build Models Together
Watch over our shoulders as we construct financial models from scratch. You'll see the shortcuts, the common mistakes, and the "aha" moments that separate good analysts from great ones.
Present to Mock Committees
Practice defending your recommendations to simulated investment committees. Our instructors play the roles they once held—asking the tough questions that test your reasoning.
Personal Guidance That Matters
This isn't just about passing exams or checking boxes. Our instructors genuinely care about your professional development and stay connected long after the program ends.
Weekly Check-ins
One-on-one sessions where instructors review your progress and provide personalized feedback on your analysis approach.
Industry Connections
Access to our instructors' professional networks, including introductions to hiring managers and industry professionals.
Career Planning
Strategic advice on positioning yourself for finance roles, from resume reviews to interview preparation with actual scenarios.
