Build Genuine Financial Analysis Skills
Our fundamental analysis program runs September through March 2026. You'll work through real company reports, not textbook examples. Most participants spend 8-12 months developing skills that actually matter in financial decision-making.

Finding Your Starting Point
Different backgrounds need different approaches. Here's what typically works.
Start with our foundations module. We spend six weeks just on reading balance sheets and income statements. You'll work with simplified examples first, then move into actual ASX-listed companies by week four.
Enrolment for September 2025 foundations opens in July. Class size stays under 25 people.
You can probably skip foundations and jump into ratio analysis. We'll test your baseline knowledge in the first week to make sure the pace works for you.
The intermediate track starts in October 2025. You'll analyse three companies in your first month to get comfortable with the workflow.
Our advanced program focuses on spotting red flags and comparing similar businesses. You'll work through cases where the numbers looked fine but something was still off.
This runs January through June 2026. Most participants are already working analysts who want to sharpen their judgement.
Common Problems We Help With
Getting overwhelmed by data volume
Annual reports run 200+ pages. Where do you even start? Most people waste hours reading sections that don't matter.
We teach a triage system. In week three, you'll learn which five pages to read first and which sections to skip entirely. Thorsten Beckmann developed this after reviewing 400+ companies over eight years.
Not knowing if your analysis is actually right
You can calculate ratios all day, but what do they mean? Is that debt level concerning or perfectly normal for the industry?
Every analysis you submit gets reviewed within 48 hours. Ravi Sundaram marks up your work and explains what you missed. You'll resubmit until the analysis holds up to scrutiny.
Companies that look fine on paper but aren't
Sometimes all the ratios look healthy but something still feels off. Learning to trust that instinct takes practice.
We study actual failures. You'll analyse companies before they collapsed and figure out what the warning signs were. The case library includes Australian businesses from 2019-2024 where the financials told a different story than what management was saying.
