Corporate Finance Without the Corporate Nonsense
Financial modeling feels different when you're not cramming formulas into your head at 2 AM before an exam. We teach analysts how companies actually value deals, structure capital, and make decisions that matter—using real scenarios from the Thai market and beyond.

How We Approach Corporate Finance Training
Most programs throw theories at you and hope something sticks. We built our method around three things that actually work when you're sitting across from a CFO or building models at midnight.
Deal-Based Learning
Every module centers on actual M&A transactions, IPOs, or restructuring cases. You learn DCF modeling by valuing a Thai conglomerate's acquisition target, not by memorizing WACC formulas in a vacuum.
Context Over Formulas
Understanding why a company chose debt over equity matters more than perfect spreadsheet mechanics. We spend time on strategic rationale, market conditions, and stakeholder concerns—the stuff that makes finance interesting.
Regional Nuance
Capital markets work differently here. Family-owned conglomerates, regulatory frameworks, currency considerations—we address the specific challenges analysts face in Southeast Asian markets, not just Wall Street scenarios.
Building Your Analyst Toolkit
Foundation Work
We start with financial statement analysis and accounting fundamentals. Not the exciting part, but you can't build credible models if you don't know how working capital actually flows or why goodwill impairments matter during due diligence.
Valuation Mechanics
This is where things get practical. DCF models, comparable company analysis, precedent transactions—you'll build each from scratch multiple times using real company data. The goal isn't perfection, it's developing judgment about what assumptions make sense.
Capital Structure Decisions
How companies fund growth, optimize their balance sheets, and think about leverage. You'll analyze actual capital raises, evaluate different financing options, and understand the tradeoffs executives consider when structuring deals.
Integration Projects
The final phase brings everything together. You'll work through complex scenarios—maybe a cross-border acquisition with currency risk, or a distressed company restructuring. These projects simulate what you'd actually encounter as an analyst.
Finding Your Path in Corporate Finance
Not everyone comes to this field from the same place. Some of you are switching careers from accounting or operations. Others have finance degrees but need practical modeling skills. Here's how we think about different starting points.
Coming from Another Field
You understand business but need technical finance skills. Maybe you've been in internal audit, operations, or consulting and want to move into corporate development or investment banking.
- Start with our foundation modules to build core knowledge
- Focus on practical modeling before advanced theory
- Leverage your existing business context understanding
- Expect to spend about 8-10 months building a complete skillset
Already in Finance Roles
You know the basics but want to deepen technical capabilities or move into more complex deal work. You're comfortable with financial statements but need stronger modeling and valuation skills.
- Skip foundation work and dive into advanced valuation
- Focus on deal complexity and strategic analysis
- Build expertise in specific transaction types
- Most professionals complete this track in 5-6 months

Discuss Your BackgroundWhat You'll Actually Build
Three-Statement Models
Complete integrated financial models that link income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements. You'll build these for public companies, private businesses, and project finance scenarios—each with different complexity levels and accounting considerations.
Valuation Frameworks
DCF models with multiple scenario analyses, trading comps with appropriate peer selection, and precedent transaction analysis. You'll learn when each approach makes sense and how to triangulate values across different methodologies.
Merger Models
Accretion/dilution analysis, purchase price allocation, and synergy quantification. These models show how acquisitions impact earnings and help evaluate whether deals create value for shareholders—critical work for any M&A analyst.
LBO Analysis
Leveraged buyout models that show how private equity firms think about returns. You'll structure debt, model cash flow sweeps, and calculate IRRs—useful even if you're not going into PE, because understanding leverage matters for corporate finance too.
