Start with balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow documents. But we don't just explain what they are — we show you what experienced analysts look for first. The red flags, the encouraging signs, the numbers that often get overlooked.

You'll practice with real company examples from ASX-listed businesses. Same documents the professionals use, just with extra guidance while you're finding your footing.

Numbers alone don't tell stories. Ratios do. We cover the standard ones, sure — but more importantly, you learn which ratios matter most in different industries. Tech companies versus mining operations need completely different analytical approaches.

By week ten, you're calculating these yourself and starting to see patterns emerge. That's when the work gets interesting.

Here's where we separate casual interest from serious skill development. Building models that predict future performance requires understanding both the math and the business context behind it.

We work with Excel extensively — the same version most Australian firms still use. No fancy software that costs thousands. Just solid modeling techniques that transfer anywhere.

Final phase puts everything together through sector-specific projects. Whether you're drawn to banking, resources, or emerging tech — you'll complete analyses that demonstrate your thinking process to potential employers.

This isn't busy work. These are portfolio pieces that show you can work independently and present findings clearly.
