Financial Analysis Through Real Business Scenarios
Most finance courses teach theory. We teach you how to actually read balance sheets and spot trouble before it becomes a crisis. Our six-month program puts you inside real company data from Taiwan's manufacturing and tech sectors.
Start September 2025
Learn from People Who've Done This Work
Our instructors spent years analyzing company financials before teaching. They've seen businesses thrive and collapse, and they know which numbers actually matter.
Darian Kovalenko
Spent twelve years analyzing mid-size manufacturers in Taiwan and Southeast Asia. Darian caught liquidity problems at three companies before they went into restructuring. He'll show you the patterns he looks for first.
Bertrand Løvstad
Former credit analyst who evaluated loan applications for technology startups. Bertrand reviewed over 400 companies and knows what healthy debt structures look like versus risky ones. His module focuses on long-term viability assessment.
Thiago Wescott
Worked in corporate finance for electronics manufacturers. Thiago built cash forecasting models that prevented two supply chain crises. He teaches you how to spot cash flow problems hiding in working capital changes.
What You'll Actually Learn
We built this program around the questions financial analysts ask every day. Each module uses real company data — anonymized but authentic. You'll work through actual scenarios where numbers looked fine on paper but told a different story when you dug deeper.
The program runs for six months starting September 2025. Classes meet twice weekly in the evenings, with weekend sessions for case study work.
Financial Statement Fundamentals
Before analyzing anything, you need to understand what you're looking at. We start with balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements — but focus on the relationships between them that textbooks skip.
- Reading Taiwan GAAP and IFRS statements with confidence
- Spotting accounting choices that hide problems
- Building your first complete financial model
- Understanding working capital movements
Liquidity Analysis Deep Dive
This is where most financial trouble shows up first. We'll work through six real cases where companies ran out of cash despite looking profitable. You'll learn which ratios matter and which ones lie.
- Current ratio myths and what actually predicts cash problems
- Building 13-week cash flow forecasts
- Seasonal business analysis and working capital stress
- Quick tests you can run in ten minutes
Solvency and Long-Term Viability
Can this company survive the next three years? We analyze debt structures, coverage ratios, and capital allocation decisions. You'll evaluate actual loan covenants and see what triggers defaults.
- Debt-to-equity analysis beyond the basic ratio
- Interest coverage and operating leverage
- Evaluating capital structure decisions
- Red flags in notes to financial statements
Comprehensive Analysis Projects
You'll analyze three complete companies from different industries. Write reports, present findings, and defend your conclusions. This mirrors what you'll do in actual financial analyst roles.
