Financial Analysis Training for International Students
We work with students from all backgrounds who want to understand business finance in Australia. Our instructors have years of experience helping people make sense of financial data — not through textbooks alone, but through mentorship that actually prepares you for the work ahead.

Our instructors aren't just educators. They've spent years analyzing business data, presenting findings to stakeholders, and making decisions that mattered. That experience shapes how they teach.
Alaric Pemberton
Senior Financial Analyst & Instructor
Alaric worked with mid-sized businesses for over a decade before teaching. He's taught international students since 2019 and focuses on bridging the gap between academic theory and what actually happens in Australian workplaces.
Dorian Fitzroy
Business Finance Mentor
Dorian spent years in corporate finance before shifting to education. He understands the challenges international students face when adapting to Australian business culture, and he tailors his guidance accordingly.
How We Approach Teaching
We don't believe in lectures where someone talks at you for hours. Our sessions are built around real cases — actual business scenarios where you work through data analysis challenges. You'll get feedback on your approach, suggestions on where to dig deeper, and guidance on presenting findings clearly.
What International Students Actually Need
Moving to Australia for education is complicated enough without trying to decode business finance on your own. We've designed our training to address specific challenges that international students face.
- Understanding Australian business terminology and reporting standards that differ from your home country
- Gaining confidence in presenting analysis findings in English, with clear communication strategies
- Learning software tools commonly used in Australian workplaces, not just generic spreadsheets
- Building practical skills through case studies based on real Australian businesses
- Navigating workplace expectations that might be different from what you're used to
Why Students Choose Our Approach
Small Group Sessions
We limit each cohort to eight students. This isn't a lecture hall where you're just another face. You get direct feedback on your work, and instructors have time to understand where you're struggling.
Real Business Data
You'll work with actual financial reports from Australian companies. Not sanitized textbook examples — messy, real-world data that requires critical thinking and problem-solving.
Flexible Scheduling
We understand you're balancing university coursework and possibly part-time work. Sessions are available on weekends and evenings, starting August 2025 through early 2026.
Ongoing Support
Learning doesn't stop when the session ends. You can reach instructors between sessions with questions about assignments or concepts that aren't clicking yet.
Cultural Context
Australian business culture has its own quirks. We help you understand not just the technical skills, but the communication styles and workplace norms that matter here.
How the Program Works
Our training is structured in three phases over six months. Each phase builds on the previous one, moving from foundational concepts to complex analysis work.
Foundation Phase
We start with financial statement analysis basics and Australian reporting standards. You'll learn to read balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow reports with confidence.
Analysis Phase
Here you dive into ratio analysis, trend identification, and forecasting methods. You'll work through case studies where you analyze business performance and identify areas of concern.
Application Phase
The final phase focuses on presenting your analysis. You'll create reports, present findings to the group, and receive feedback on both your technical work and communication approach.
