Master Valuation Through Real-World Financial Analysis
Most finance courses teach theory. We teach you how experienced analysts actually value companies—using frameworks that stand up in boardrooms and due diligence meetings.
How Analysts Actually Build Valuations
We break down complex valuation work into digestible methods. No fluff—just the frameworks that matter when you're staring at a blank spreadsheet.
DCF That Makes Sense
Discounted cash flow models scare people because textbooks complicate them. We show you how to build defensible DCFs that you can explain to skeptical colleagues in five minutes.
Comparable Company Logic
Trading comps aren't about finding perfect matches—they're about understanding which multiples actually tell you something useful. You'll learn why some analysts get this wrong.
Transaction Analysis Reality
Precedent transactions require judgment. We teach you how to filter noise from signal when looking at deal multiples, and when to trust (or ignore) market data.
What Changes When You Get Valuation Right
- You stop second-guessing your assumptions because you understand which inputs actually drive value
- Presenting to senior leadership becomes easier when you can defend every line in your model
- You spend less time fixing broken spreadsheets and more time on analysis that matters
- Your colleagues start asking you questions instead of the other way around
- You recognize bad valuations instantly—whether they're from competitors or consultants
Quick Wins You Can Use Tomorrow
Before you commit to the full program, here are insights that improve your valuation work immediately. These come up in every analyst's daily workflow.
Terminal Value Traps
Most DCF errors happen in perpetuity assumptions. Check your terminal growth rate against GDP—if it's higher, you need a reason.
WACC Shortcuts
Cost of capital calculations don't need PhD-level precision. Learn which inputs matter and which ones analysts overthink.
Multiple Selection
EV/EBITDA works for most situations, but knowing when to switch to P/E or EV/Sales separates good analysts from average ones.
Scenario Testing
Three-scenario analysis (base/bull/bear) beats sensitivity tables every time for explaining valuation range to non-technical audiences.
What Our Approach Covers
We focus on skills that translate directly into better valuation work. Each module connects to real situations analysts face regularly.
Building Models That Work
Valuation models fail when they're too complex or too simple. We show you the middle ground—flexible enough to handle edge cases, clean enough that someone else can understand your work.
Industry-Specific Adjustments
Tech companies need different treatment than manufacturing. Financial institutions break standard DCF models. You'll learn when standard approaches work and when you need specialized methods.
What Participants Say
Henrik Borg
Corporate Finance Analyst
I was building valuations before this program, but I didn't really understand why certain assumptions mattered more than others. Now I can explain my models to CFOs without stumbling through technical jargon.
Vera Lindstrom
Investment Banking Associate
The comparable company section alone was worth it. I used to pick comps based on gut feeling—now I have a systematic approach that holds up in pitch meetings. My managing director noticed the difference immediately.
