Build Financial Models That Actually Work
Most people struggle with spreadsheets that break when you change one number. We'll show you how to create robust models that scale with your business needs and stand up to real-world pressure.

Why Our Approach Feels Different
We skip the theory dumps and get straight into building models you can use tomorrow. Each session solves a real problem you'll face when creating financial projections.
Start With Broken Models
You'll begin by analyzing flawed financial models to understand what goes wrong. It's like learning to cook by tasting dishes that didn't turn out right—you quickly learn what to avoid and why structure matters from day one.
Build From Scratch
No templates to fill in. You construct every formula and link yourself, which means you'll know exactly how your model works. When something breaks later, you'll fix it in minutes instead of hours.
Test Under Pressure
We throw scenarios at your models that mirror real business changes—sudden cost increases, market shifts, growth spurts. You'll learn to build flexibility into your work so updates don't mean rebuilding everything.
Present With Confidence
Creating the model is one thing. Explaining it to stakeholders who don't live in spreadsheets is another. You'll practice translating complex financial logic into clear visual stories that drive decisions.
What Six Months Actually Looks Like
Our autumn 2025 intake runs from September through February 2026. You'll spend about 8 hours per week—half in live sessions, half building your own projects. Classes happen evenings Malaysia time to work around full-time schedules.
Month one covers forecasting fundamentals. By month three, you're modeling cash flow for growing businesses. The final project involves building a complete three-statement model for a case study company, then defending your assumptions in a presentation.
Three Skills You'll Actually Use
Forget trying to learn everything at once. These three capabilities will handle most of what you need for startup financial planning and business analysis work.
Scenario Planning
Build models that let you flip between conservative, realistic, and aggressive projections in seconds. Essential for board presentations and investor conversations.
Assumption Tracking
Learn to document every number's source so future you (or your colleagues) can understand why figures exist. This saves countless hours when models get questioned.
Error Prevention
Discover formulas and structures that catch mistakes before they reach stakeholders. Your models will flag issues instead of silently producing wrong numbers.
From Confused to Confident
I joined the March 2024 cohort after spending weeks trying to learn from YouTube videos. The difference was night and day. Instead of copying formulas I didn't understand, I finally grasped why financial models need specific structures.
The part that helped most was breaking down actual company financials and rebuilding them. You see how revenue assumptions flow through to cash needs, and why getting your timing right matters more than perfect accuracy.
Six months later, I'm building quarterly forecast models for our startup clients. My boss recently asked how I learned to structure scenarios so cleanly—turns out consistent practice with feedback beats random tutorial hunting every time.
September 2025 Registration Opens in May
We're taking 40 participants for our autumn intake. Classes fill up based on application order, so getting your details in early gives you better odds of securing a spot in the cohort that fits your schedule.
