Build Financial Models That Actually Work
Most finance courses throw theory at you. We teach something different—how to create forecasting models that businesses genuinely rely on. Learn hands-on techniques from people who've built models for everything from small cafes to listed companies.

Why Models Fail in Real Business
Companies don't need another Excel spreadsheet with fancy formulas. What they actually need is a model that adapts when reality shifts—when suppliers change prices, when hiring takes longer than planned, or when customers negotiate payment terms.
Our approach focuses on building flexibility into your models from day one. You'll learn to anticipate the messy variables that textbooks never mention but that seasoned CFOs deal with constantly.
And you'll understand when to keep things simple instead of adding complexity that nobody will maintain six months later.
What You'll Gain From Our Approach
We break down complex financial concepts into practical skills you can start using immediately. Each programme builds progressively from core principles to advanced techniques.
Scenario Planning
Learn to model multiple futures so businesses can prepare for different outcomes. You'll build scenarios that capture both optimistic growth and challenging market conditions.
Variance Analysis
Master the skill of comparing forecasts against actual results and understanding what the differences reveal. This is where theory meets reality and you gain genuine insights.
Dynamic Modelling
Create models that respond to changing inputs without breaking. Build systems that finance teams can actually update and trust month after month.
The course changed how I approach forecasting entirely. Before, I'd build these elaborate models that looked impressive but broke the moment anyone touched them. Now I build simpler systems that executives can actually use to make decisions. That shift in perspective has been invaluable.

How Our Learning Process Works
Starting September 2025, our next intake follows a structured yet flexible approach that builds your capabilities progressively.
Foundation Building
We start with fundamentals—not just Excel formulas, but understanding what questions a model needs to answer. You'll learn to interview stakeholders, identify key drivers, and structure information logically before touching a spreadsheet.
Practical Application
Using real business cases, you'll build complete models from scratch. Each week focuses on different industries—retail, professional services, manufacturing—so you understand how principles adapt to different contexts.
