What You'll Actually Learn
Foundation Phase
We start with the basics but don't waste time on theory you won't use. You'll learn to navigate financial statements, understand key metrics, and spot accounting choices that matter. Every concept gets tested against real company examples.
- Read income statements and cash flow reports without confusion
- Calculate ratios that actually tell you something useful
- Understand how accounting policies affect what you see
- Practice with reports from ASX-listed companies

What Past Students Say
Before this program, I could barely understand a profit and loss statement. Malcolm broke everything down using real mining companies I'd heard of. Now I actually read quarterly reports for my own investing research.
Siobhan's sessions on comparing competitors changed how I look at company valuations. She used examples from retail chains I shop at, which made the concepts stick. The homework was challenging but directly relevant to my work.
