Financial Modeling Intensive
Eight months of practical training for analysts who want to build real-world skills
Starting October 2025, we're running another cohort. You'll spend time working through actual financial scenarios, building models that companies actually use, and getting feedback from people who've been doing this work for years.

What This Program Actually Covers
We've structured this around what analysts need most. You'll build DCF models, work through merger scenarios, and create forecasts that hold up under scrutiny. Most weeks include a mix of theory and hands-on work.
The program runs from October 2025 through May 2026. Classes happen twice a week in the evenings, with additional weekend sessions for project work. We cap enrollment at eighteen people because that's what allows for proper feedback on your models.
You'll need a basic grasp of accounting and some experience with Excel. If you've worked with financial statements before, you're probably ready. The first module reviews fundamentals, but we move fairly quickly after that.
Eight Modules Over Eight Months
Each module builds on the previous one. We start with foundational concepts and gradually add complexity as your skills develop.
Financial Statement Analysis
Reading beyond the numbers. You'll learn to spot red flags in financial statements and understand what different metrics actually tell you about a company's health.
Building Three-Statement Models
Creating integrated models where the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement work together properly. This is where most beginners struggle, so we spend extra time here.
Valuation Frameworks
DCF, comparable company analysis, and precedent transactions. We cover when to use each method and how to present your findings to stakeholders who might challenge your assumptions.
Merger and Acquisition Modeling
Accretion and dilution analysis, purchase price allocation, and synergy modeling. You'll work through a full merger scenario from initial analysis to post-deal integration.
Leveraged Buyout Analysis
Understanding how private equity firms evaluate deals. You'll build LBO models that account for debt structures, management incentives, and exit strategies.
Industry-Specific Considerations
Different sectors need different approaches. We look at technology companies, real estate, manufacturing, and financial services, examining what makes modeling unique for each.
Scenario and Sensitivity Analysis
Building models that account for uncertainty. You'll learn Monte Carlo simulation, decision trees, and how to present ranges rather than single-point forecasts.
Capstone Project
You'll pick a company, build a comprehensive valuation model, and present your analysis. We bring in external reviewers who'll ask the tough questions you'd face in actual client situations.
Who Teaches This Program
Both instructors have spent years building models for actual deals. They've seen what works in practice and what only looks good in textbooks.
Marcus Bergstrom
Lead Instructor
Marcus spent twelve years at investment banks in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. He's built valuation models for over forty deals, ranging from small acquisitions to billion-dollar mergers. He joined us in 2023 after getting tired of the corporate grind.
Priya Kamath
Senior Instructor
Priya worked in corporate finance for a major technology company before transitioning to consulting. She specializes in financial planning and analysis, bringing a practical perspective on how models actually get used in business decisions.
What Past Participants Say
Feedback from the 2024 cohort
I came in with accounting background but limited Excel skills. The program pushed me pretty hard, especially in modules three and four. By the end, I could build models I wouldn't have thought possible eight months earlier. The feedback from Marcus was detailed and actually helpful, not just generic comments.
Financial Analyst, Manufacturing Sector
The capstone project was intense. I chose to analyze a real estate investment trust, which meant adapting what we'd learned to a sector with unique characteristics. Priya spent extra time helping me work through the nuances. The presentation to external reviewers felt like a real pitch, and their questions prepared me well for actual work situations.

Classes meet Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7 PM to 9:30 PM Malaysian time. We also schedule four Saturday workshops throughout the program for extended project work.
The October 2025 cohort starts on October 7th and concludes with final presentations in May 2026. We take a two-week break in December for the holidays.
Total program investment is RM 8,400. We offer payment plans if you prefer to spread costs across the eight months. Early registration before August 2025 reduces the fee to RM 7,800.
Space is limited to eighteen participants. Last year's program filled up by mid-September, so if you're interested, reach out sooner rather than later.
