We don't teach financial modeling from textbooks. Our approach centers on practical skills you'll actually use — whether you're analyzing your first investment opportunity or building complex forecast models for business expansion in 2025 and beyond.
Starting September 2025, our cohorts work through actual case studies drawn from Philippine markets. You'll tackle real scenarios — from startup valuations in Baguio's growing tech sector to investment analysis for regional businesses.
Each module builds on the previous one, but we don't move forward until concepts click. Some groups speed through valuation methods in three weeks. Others need five. That's completely fine.
Our instructors aren't just academics. They've built models for investment firms, advised startups on funding rounds, and continue working in finance while teaching. You get insights from people who still do this work daily.
Corporate Finance & Valuation
Spent twelve years analyzing acquisitions for mid-sized companies. Now splits time between consulting work and teaching DCF modeling to students who want practical frameworks rather than theoretical exercises.
Financial Analysis & Forecasting
Built financial models for three Philippine startups that successfully raised seed funding. Focuses on teaching scenario analysis and sensitivity testing — the skills that actually help when assumptions change halfway through a project.
Investment Modeling & Risk Assessment
Works as an independent analyst helping small investment groups evaluate opportunities. Teaches students how to build models that communicate risk clearly — because investors need to understand your assumptions, not just your conclusions.
We run small cohorts — usually 12 to 15 participants. Sessions happen twice weekly in the evenings, designed for people balancing work commitments. You'll spend half the time building models together, half reviewing what you've built.
The fall 2025 program runs from September through November. Winter sessions start in January 2026. Both follow the same structure, just with different case studies reflecting seasonal business patterns.
Between sessions, you'll work on your assigned project. Most students spend 4-6 hours weekly on this. Some need more time initially while getting comfortable with Excel functions and financial concepts. That's expected.
Submit work-in-progress models for review. Get written feedback within 48 hours pointing out calculation errors, questionable assumptions, or unclear documentation.
Present your model to small groups. Explain your methodology. Defend your assumptions. This mirrors actual workplace scenarios where you'll need to justify your analysis.
Access templates, example models, and recorded explanations of tricky concepts. Materials stay available after the program ends for future reference.
Schedule one-on-one time when you're stuck on specific problems. Most students use this 2-3 times throughout the program for targeted help.
