Real Company Case Studies
Every lesson uses actual financial reports from ASX-listed companies and international firms. You'll see how theory meets reality and learn to navigate messy, incomplete information.
Master Financial Analysis Through Real-World Practice
Learn to evaluate companies the way professional investors do. We skip the theory-heavy textbooks and focus on hands-on analysis using actual financial statements from Australian and global markets.

How We Teach Fundamental Analysis
Most courses throw formulas at you and expect everything to click. We start with actual company reports and walk through the analysis step by step. Think of it as learning to cook by actually cooking, not memorising recipes.
1
Read Financial Statements
Start with balance sheets and income statements from companies you know. We break down what each line means and why it matters before moving to calculations.
2
Calculate Key Ratios
Learn ROE, debt-to-equity, profit margins, and cash flow metrics. But more importantly, understand what these numbers tell you about a business and when they might mislead you.
3
Compare and Contrast
Put companies side by side within their industries. Spot patterns, red flags, and competitive advantages by seeing how different businesses handle similar challenges.
Programme Timeline and Milestones
Our six-month programme builds your skills progressively. Each phase introduces new concepts while reinforcing previous learning through practical application.

Why Our Approach Works
We've seen too many students memorise formulas without understanding when to use them. Our method focuses on judgement and critical thinking because financial analysis isn't about plugging numbers into spreadsheets.

I'd taken university finance courses but never felt confident analysing actual companies. This programme changed that. Working through real annual reports and discussing different interpretations helped me understand not just what the ratios mean, but when they're useful and when they're not.
