Building Tomorrow's Financial Analysts

We're not just another training company. For three years, we've been quietly revolutionizing how professionals learn financial modeling — one analyst at a time.

How We Started (And Why It Matters)

Back in 2022, I was consulting for mid-sized companies across Seoul and noticed something troubling. Finance teams were struggling with basic modeling concepts — not because they weren't smart, but because their training was either too academic or too rushed.

So we started small. Really small. Just a weekend workshop for twelve analysts who wanted to build better Excel models. But something clicked. These weren't just participants learning formulas — they were professionals finally understanding the why behind the numbers.

Three years later, we've trained over 400 financial professionals. Our alumni work at Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motor, LG Chem, and dozens of growing companies. They don't just use our methods — they teach them to their own teams.

What We Believe

Financial modeling isn't about memorizing formulas. It's about building logical frameworks that help businesses make better decisions. Every model should tell a story that executives can understand and trust.

Where We're Heading

By 2026, we want to be the go-to resource for practical financial modeling in Korea. Not the biggest program, but the one that consistently produces analysts who can handle complex problems with confidence.

What Makes Our Training Different

We focus on real-world applications that you'll actually use in your career, not textbook examples that look good on paper.

Industry-Tested Methods

Every technique we teach has been validated in actual corporate finance departments. Our case studies come from real M&A deals, budget planning sessions, and investment decisions.

Take our DCF modeling approach — it's based on methods used by analysts at top Korean chaebols, but simplified for professionals who need to build models quickly and accurately.

We also cover the mistakes that textbooks don't mention. Like how to structure models that won't break when executives want to change assumptions during presentations.

Meet Our Lead Instructor

Dr. Riley Chen brings fifteen years of experience from investment banking and corporate finance. She's built valuation models for deals worth over billion and has trained finance teams at companies ranging from startups to Fortune 500 firms.

But what sets Riley apart isn't just her experience — it's her ability to explain complex concepts in ways that stick. She knows that the best financial model is useless if your team can't understand or maintain it.

Riley holds a PhD in Financial Engineering from KAIST and maintains her CFA designation. More importantly, she still consults for major corporations, so her training reflects current market practices.

Build From Scratch

We start with blank spreadsheets, not templates. You'll understand every formula because you'll create it yourself, step by step.

Test With Real Data

Using actual financial statements from Korean companies, we stress-test your models against real market conditions and business cycles.

Debug Like a Pro

Models break. We teach you systematic troubleshooting techniques that experienced analysts use to find and fix errors quickly.

Present With Confidence

The best analysis means nothing if you can't communicate it. We cover visualization techniques and presentation strategies that get buy-in from executives.
