Three Stages That Build Your Analytical Foundation

Most programs throw everything at you at once. We broke it down differently based on how people actually learn financial concepts.

1

Foundation Months

September to November 2025. You'll work with simplified balance sheets first. No jargon overload. Just the core principles that matter when you're staring at spreadsheets at midnight.

2

Application Phase

December 2025 to February 2026. Here's where it gets interesting. Real company data from Southeast Asian markets. You'll spot the red flags and opportunities that textbooks miss.

3

Portfolio Building

March to April 2026. Create your analysis portfolio using actual scenarios. Former participants tell us this part helped them the most during job interviews and client presentations.

Software Skills That Actually Transfer

You won't become an Excel wizard overnight. But you'll learn the specific functions that financial analysts use daily. Not the fancy stuff that looks impressive but serves no purpose.

  • Ratio analysis frameworks that work across different industries
  • Cash flow modeling without getting lost in complexity
  • Visualization techniques that make your findings clear to non-finance people
  • Error-checking methods because one wrong formula can ruin everything
  • Report templates you can adapt for different client needs

Your Learning Path From September 2025

Each month builds on what came before. Miss a section and you'll feel it later. That's why we keep groups small and track individual progress.

Q1

Financial Statement Fundamentals

Reading balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow reports. You'll practice with companies from different sectors to see how interpretation changes based on industry context.

Q2

Ratio Analysis and Performance Metrics

Liquidity ratios, profitability measures, efficiency indicators. More importantly, you'll learn when each metric matters and when it's just noise.

Q3

Forecasting and Projection Models

Building realistic projections based on historical data and market conditions. This is where analysis becomes advisory work.

Q4

Real Case Implementation

Apply everything to actual business scenarios. Present your findings like you would to a client or management team. Get feedback from people who've done this professionally.

Learn From People Who Work in the Field

Our instructors split their time between teaching and actual financial work. That means the examples stay current and the advice stays practical.

Questions People Ask Before Enrolling

These come up in almost every consultation call. Figured we'd answer them here first.

What background do I need?

Basic spreadsheet comfort and interest in numbers. We've had accountants, business owners, and career changers. The math isn't advanced, but you need patience for detail work.

How much time per week?

Plan for eight to ten hours. Three hours of live sessions, the rest for practice and assignments. People with finance backgrounds sometimes move faster through early modules.

Is this taught in person or online?

Live online sessions with recorded backups. You can watch recordings, but the real learning happens during live sessions when you can ask about specific confusion points.

What happens after the program?

You get access to our resource library and alumni community. Some participants freelance, others use skills in current roles. We don't make placement promises.

Can I start mid-program?

Not recommended. Each module assumes you've completed previous ones. We run two cohorts yearly, so if timing doesn't work now, there's another chance in six months.

What software will I need?

Excel or Google Sheets for most work. We provide templates and sample data sets. If you want to explore specialized tools, we cover those in optional workshops.
