We started in 2019 with a simple observation — most financial modeling courses taught theory without real-world application. Six years later, we're still focused on teaching practical skills that matter in actual business scenarios.
Back in 2019, I was consulting for a mid-sized manufacturing firm in Manila. Their finance team had the credentials but struggled with forecasting models that actually reflected their operations. That gap between classroom learning and practical application stuck with me.
Started teaching weekend workshops from a cramped office in Baguio. Eight people showed up to the first one. By the third session, we'd moved to a larger space because word spread about the hands-on approach — we used real company data and walked through actual modeling challenges.
Our teaching philosophy is straightforward: if you can't build it from scratch with messy data, you don't really understand it. Theory matters, but application is where learning happens.
Now we work with professionals across the Philippines who need practical modeling skills. Some are accountants expanding their capabilities. Others are entrepreneurs trying to understand their business finances better. A few are career changers who discovered they enjoy working with numbers and projections.
Financial modeling isn't one-size-fits-all. We teach adaptable frameworks that work across different industries and company sizes, then help you apply them to your specific context.
You'll work with actual financial statements and operational data. Messy spreadsheets, incomplete information, inconsistent formatting — just like what you'll encounter in real work situations.
Start with basic forecasting models, then layer in working capital dynamics, scenario analysis, and sensitivity testing. Each module builds on what came before without overwhelming you with everything at once.
Build something, get specific feedback, revise it, apply it to a different scenario. This iterative process helps you understand not just what to build, but why certain approaches work better than others.
Our instructors come from finance and consulting backgrounds. They've built models for acquisitions, operational planning, and investment analysis — and now they teach others how to do the same.
Lead Instructor, Financial Modeling
Spent eight years in FP&A roles for multinational companies before transitioning to education. Rowan focuses on teaching forecasting techniques that account for Philippine market dynamics and helps students adapt global modeling practices to local business contexts.
Senior Instructor, Valuation Models
Background in investment banking and private equity gives Castor a practical perspective on valuation modeling. He teaches DCF analysis, comparable company analysis, and helps students understand how models inform actual investment decisions rather than just producing numbers.
Our next cohort begins in September 2025. Programs run for six months with weekend sessions that fit around full-time work schedules. If you're interested in developing practical financial modeling skills, reach out and we can discuss whether our approach matches what you're looking for.
