Financial Analysis Training That Matches Real Business
Practical training for people who want to understand numbers and make better decisions—not become spreadsheet wizards overnight.
Look, most finance courses teach theory. We focus on what actually happens when you're staring at monthly reports trying to figure out if you should expand or hold off. Our September 2025 cohort brings together business owners, aspiring analysts, and people tired of guessing based on gut feeling alone.
Discuss Your GoalsHow the Program Actually Works
Three phases over eight months. Each builds on the last, but we're not rushing anyone through formulas they'll forget next week.
Foundation Work
Weeks 1-10
We start with the basics—what financial statements actually tell you, how to spot patterns, and why some numbers matter more than others. Real examples from Australian businesses, not textbook scenarios.
Applied Analysis
Weeks 11-22
This is where it gets interesting. You'll work with actual financial data, make projections, and learn what to do when things don't add up. We cover forecasting, variance analysis, and decision support that boards actually care about.
Strategic Integration
Weeks 23-32
Final phase focuses on presenting insights and building reports that influence decisions. You'll complete a capstone project using a real business scenario—something you can actually show people later.
Workshop Sessions
Twice-monthly in-person workshops in Castle Hill where we work through problems together. No passive lectures.
Real Case Work
Every module includes actual business cases from Australian companies—retail, manufacturing, services. The messy stuff.
Who's Teaching This
Three practitioners who've spent years doing financial analysis for businesses across Sydney. They've seen what works and what doesn't—and they're honest about both.
Callum Bergstrom
Program Lead
Spent twelve years as CFO for mid-sized manufacturers. Now teaches analysis methods that actually get used in boardrooms, not filed away.
Dmitri Kowalczyk
Senior Instructor
Financial controller background with specialty in variance analysis and forecasting. He makes complex models understandable without dumbing them down.
Sienna Thorne
Strategic Finance
Former investment analyst who now consults for growing businesses. She focuses on decision-making frameworks and presentation skills.
Program Investment
Pricing is straightforward. We offer flexibility because people have different situations, but the quality stays consistent.
All materials, workshop access, and one-on-one feedback sessions included. If you complete Foundation and want to continue, we credit your initial payment toward the full program.
What You Actually Get
Beyond the sessions, you'll have access to resources and support that help you apply what you're learning right away.
