Business Analytics Training Program

We started this program in early 2024 after working with over forty companies who asked the same thing: where do we find people who actually understand financial data?

So we built something practical. Six months of learning how to analyze business activity, read financial statements, and spot patterns that matter. Classes begin October 2025.

How the Program Works

Most people finish in six months, though some take eight. You'll spend about 12 hours weekly between live sessions and your own analysis work. The structure moves left to right—fundamentals first, then real applications.

1

Financial Fundamentals

Eight weeks on reading balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow. We use real company data from South Korean businesses—anonymized, but actual numbers from manufacturing and retail operations.

  • Understanding basic accounting without becoming an accountant
  • What ratios tell you and which ones actually matter
  • Common mistakes people make when interpreting figures
2

Pattern Recognition

Another eight weeks focused on spotting trends in business activity. This is where numbers start connecting to real decisions—hiring patterns, inventory cycles, seasonal variations.

  • Building comparison frameworks that reveal useful information
  • Identifying which changes deserve attention
  • Creating reports that non-financial people can understand
3

Applied Analysis Projects

The final ten weeks involve working through case studies from companies we've consulted with. You'll analyze their data, write recommendations, and present findings—same process our team uses.

  • Three major case studies across different industries
  • Peer review sessions where you critique each other's work
  • Final project based on a real business scenario

Who Teaches This

Both instructors run analysis projects for clients during the day and teach evenings. They're not full-time educators—this is what they do for work.

Instructor Ewan Thorsen

Ewan Thorsen

Financial Analysis

Ewan spent eleven years in audit before switching to consulting in 2019. He handles the fundamentals section and the financial statement analysis portions.

He's good at explaining complex accounting in plain terms, probably because he came from an engineering background originally.

Business Intelligence

Callum runs the pattern recognition and applied projects phases. He worked in business intelligence for a retail chain before joining us in 2022.

His focus is on making analysis practical—what actually helps with decisions versus what just looks impressive in presentations.
