Learn from Financial Industry Leaders
Our expert-led program connects you directly with seasoned professionals who've navigated complex financial landscapes across diverse industries. This isn't about theoretical knowledge—it's about real-world expertise shared by practitioners who understand the nuances of modern profitability analysis.
Meet Your Expert Instructors
These aren't just teachers—they're active practitioners who bring fresh insights from current market conditions and emerging financial trends. Both continue working with major corporations while dedicating time to developing the next generation of financial analysts.
Harrison Blackwell
Senior Financial Strategist
Harrison spent fifteen years at boutique consulting firms before establishing his independent practice in 2019. He specializes in turning around struggling manufacturing companies by identifying hidden profit leaks and operational inefficiencies. His hands-on approach means students learn the detective work behind financial analysis—not just the formulas.
Marcus Thornfield
Corporate Finance Director
Currently serving as Finance Director at a mid-sized logistics company, Marcus brings real-time corporate experience to every session. He's particularly skilled at explaining how financial analysis influences strategic decisions at board level. Students appreciate his ability to translate complex concepts into practical applications they'll use immediately.
Our Expert-Driven Learning Approach
Rather than following rigid curricula, our instructors adapt their teaching based on current market conditions and emerging challenges. This dynamic approach ensures you're learning skills that matter right now—not outdated theories from textbooks.
Real Case Study Immersion
Every month, our instructors select current cases from their consulting work—with client permission, naturally. You'll analyze actual financial challenges that real companies are facing today. Harrison often shares manufacturing case studies from his recent projects, while Marcus brings corporate finance scenarios from his current role. This approach gives you insight into how professional analysts actually think through complex problems.
Collaborative Problem Solving
Our instructors facilitate small group sessions where you'll work through financial puzzles together. They've found that students learn faster when they can discuss different approaches and challenge each other's assumptions. Both Harrison and Marcus act as mentors during these sessions, offering guidance when groups get stuck and celebrating breakthrough moments when everything clicks.
Direct Mentorship Sessions
Monthly one-on-one conversations with either Harrison or Marcus help you apply concepts to your specific career goals. These aren't formal assessments—they're genuine mentoring relationships where experienced professionals help you navigate your learning journey. Many students find these personal connections invaluable for understanding how financial analysis fits into broader business strategy.
Industry Network Integration
Both instructors maintain active networks of financial professionals who occasionally join sessions as guest speakers. This exposure to different perspectives and approaches helps students understand the variety of career paths available in financial analysis. These connections often lead to informal mentoring relationships that extend beyond the program.
