What Corporate Finance Actually Involves

Most people think it's just spreadsheets and forecasts. It is, but there's more to building models that hold up under scrutiny — especially when decisions rely on your numbers.

Valuation Methods

DCF, comparable company analysis, precedent transactions. We cover what works and when each approach makes sense for different scenarios and industries.

Financial Modelling

Three-statement models that actually function, not template exercises. Learn to build from scratch and debug when formulas don't balance properly.

M&A Analysis

Accretion-dilution models, merger consequences, synergy calculations. This is where most junior analysts struggle, so we dedicate proper time to it.

How The Programme Works

  • Six-month structured programme starting autumn 2025 with evening sessions twice weekly for working professionals
  • Build complete financial models from annual reports and actual market data rather than simplified examples
  • Weekly assignments reviewed by practitioners who've worked in investment banking and corporate development
  • Access to recording library and model templates that you can reference after programme completion

Programme Structure Breakdown

1

Financial Statement Analysis

Reading annual reports properly, understanding accounting adjustments, calculating meaningful ratios. This foundation matters because everything else builds on it.

2

Building Three-Statement Models

Creating integrated models where income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement connect correctly. You'll debug common errors that trip up most beginners.

3

Valuation Approaches

DCF mechanics, comparable company selection, precedent transaction analysis. Understanding which method suits different industries and transaction types.

4

Advanced Modelling Scenarios

LBO models, merger models, scenario analysis. These take longer to master but are what distinguish competent analysts from spreadsheet operators.

Taught By People Who've Done The Work

Our instructors have spent years in investment banking, private equity, and corporate finance roles. They understand what matters in real transactions versus what textbooks emphasize.

We focus on practical skills that translate directly to analyst roles — the kind of work you'll do during your first year rather than theoretical frameworks that sound impressive but rarely get used.
