Understanding Money Through Numbers

Financial analysis isn't just about spreadsheets and formulas. It's about making sense of business decisions, spotting patterns others miss, and building the confidence to trust your judgement when reading between the lines of quarterly reports.

Why Most People Get Analysis Wrong

Here's something nobody talks about. You can master every ratio and memorise every formula, but if you don't understand what drives business performance in the real world, you're just pushing numbers around.

I've seen plenty of folks with accounting degrees who can't explain why a company with growing revenue is heading for trouble. And I've met career changers who learned to spot red flags within months because they focused on the right fundamentals.

Our approach starts with how businesses actually work. We teach you to read financial statements the way investors do — looking for the story behind the numbers, not just calculating ratios for the sake of it.

What You'll Actually Learn

We've stripped away the academic fluff and built a curriculum around what professionals actually use every day. No filler modules about theory you'll never apply.

Financial Statements

Learn to read balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow reports like someone who's evaluated hundreds of companies. We focus on what matters and skip the rest.

Ratio Analysis

Profitability, liquidity, efficiency — you'll know which ratios matter for different industries and how to spot when numbers don't add up to the narrative.

Valuation Methods

From DCF models to comparable company analysis, you'll understand how professionals value businesses and why two analysts can reach different conclusions.

Taught by Someone Who's Done the Work

Rorik Davison spent twelve years analyzing companies for institutional investors before deciding to teach. Not as a side project — this is what he does full-time now.

He's evaluated businesses across mining, retail, technology, and manufacturing. He's seen management teams stretch the truth in presentations and watched supposedly stable companies collapse within quarters.

What makes his teaching different is the focus on judgement. Sure, you'll learn the technical skills. But you'll also develop the instinct that separates competent analysts from truly valuable ones.

"Financial analysis is as much about asking the right questions as it is about running calculations. That's what I try to pass on."
