Financial Modeling Excellence

Build Models That Actually Make Sense

Most courses teach you formulas. We teach you to think like someone who needs to defend their numbers in a boardroom. This isn't about spreadsheets—it's about decisions that hold up under scrutiny.

How We Structure Your Learning

Six months of focused work. No shortcuts, no fluff. Just the progression you need to build real capability.

01

Foundation Mechanics

You'll start with the unglamorous stuff—proper structure, version control, and audit trails. Boring? Maybe. Essential? Absolutely.

Weeks 1-6
02

Scenario Architecture

Build models that handle complexity without falling apart. Learn to anticipate the "what if" questions before they're asked.

Weeks 7-12
03

Assumption Defense

Every assumption you make will be challenged. We teach you how to document reasoning that stands up to critique.

Weeks 13-18
04

Presentation Logic

Your model is only as good as your ability to explain it. Learn to communicate complex analysis without losing your audience.

Weeks 19-24
Advanced financial analysis and strategic planning session

What You'll Actually Be Able to Do

Here's what changes. You'll stop copying templates and start building from first principles. You'll make fewer errors because you'll understand the logic behind every cell.

Three-Statement Integration

Connect income statements, balance sheets, and cash flows so they actually balance—even when you change twenty variables at once.

Sensitivity Analysis

Build frameworks that show exactly which assumptions matter most. Stop guessing, start knowing where your model is vulnerable.

Valuation Methods

DCF, multiples, precedent transactions—you'll understand when each method works and when it doesn't. Context matters more than formulas.

Error Tracing

Find mistakes before they find you. Learn systematic checking that catches problems without spending hours hunting through formulas.

Bjørn Aalberg

Senior Financial Analyst

Spent twelve years building models for M&A transactions, project finance, and restructuring cases. Watched plenty of models break under pressure—usually because someone skipped the boring parts.

The best modelers I know aren't the fastest with formulas. They're the ones who can explain their thinking to non-finance people without causing confusion. That's what this program focuses on.

Next Program Starts September 2025

We run two cohorts per year—autumn and spring. Class size is capped at twenty because quality feedback takes time.
