Started in 2019 because too many smart professionals were building spreadsheets that didn't make sense. We're here to fix that—one model at a time.
Two former analysts got tired of seeing talented people struggle with financial models. The problem wasn't intelligence—it was that nobody taught the practical stuff that actually matters when you're building models under pressure.
Most finance training treats Excel like magic or assumes you already know everything. We approach it differently. You learn by building real models that mirror what businesses actually need, not theoretical exercises.
Our students come from accounting firms, small businesses, startups. They need models that board members understand and that don't break when assumptions change. That's exactly what we focus on teaching.
We're not academics writing textbooks. We spent years building financial models for real companies—the messy, complex kind where mistakes cost money and clarity saves deals.
Spent eight years building acquisition models for mid-market firms before realizing he preferred teaching people to understand financial logic. Still consults occasionally but spends most time designing course content that doesn't bore people to tears.
Former financial controller who got frustrated fixing other people's broken spreadsheets. Now creates the practical scenarios and case studies that form the backbone of our training. Believes every formula should have a clear business reason.
You'll learn the formulas and functions that show up in 90% of business models. Theory has its place, but not when you need to deliver a working forecast by Friday.
Anyone can build a complicated spreadsheet. The skill is building one that other people can actually use and understand six months later when assumptions need updating.
Every exercise comes from actual business situations we've encountered. Revenue projections for subscription models. Cash flow forecasts during growth phases. Valuation models for investor presentations.
Learning finance modeling means hitting walls. We don't leave you there. Our approach includes direct feedback on your models and explanations when something doesn't click the first time.
Most financial training assumes you're either a complete beginner or a CFA candidate. We work with the much larger group in between—professionals who understand business but need stronger modeling skills.
Our courses start in September 2025 because we're still refining the curriculum based on feedback from our current cohort. Yeah, it's a wait. But we'd rather get it right than rush something mediocre.
