Corporate Finance Analyst Program
This isn't your typical finance course. We built this program after working with dozens of analysts who felt stuck between knowing theory and actually doing the work.
Starting September 2025, you'll spend six months learning what matters in real corporate finance departments. No fluff about becoming the next CFO in six weeks. Just practical skills that make you useful from day one.
How Six Months Actually Works
Foundation Phase
First eight weeks cover financial statement analysis and modeling basics. You'll build your first three-statement model and understand why cash flow statements keep analysts up at night.
Weeks 1-8Applied Analysis
Next ten weeks focus on valuation methods and financial planning scenarios. You'll work with datasets from actual companies and learn to spot the red flags that matter to decision-makers.
Weeks 9-18Integration Project
Final six weeks involve a comprehensive case study where you prepare board-level presentations and defend your recommendations. This part feels uncomfortable, but that's the point.
Weeks 19-24
What You'll Actually Learn
Financial Modeling That Works
Build models that finance teams actually use. You'll learn proper structure, error-checking methods, and how to make your assumptions transparent enough that someone can audit your work.
Valuation Beyond Formulas
DCF, multiples, and comparable analysis techniques tied to real situations. We spend time on the messy parts where textbooks stop and judgment calls begin.
Communication Skills
Present financial insights to non-finance stakeholders without making their eyes glaze over. This includes writing clear memos and handling questions during review meetings.
Risk Assessment
Identify financial risks in operational contexts and quantify uncertainty in forecasts. You'll practice sensitivity analysis until it becomes second nature.
Who Teaches This Program
Lorcan Devereux

Aisling Kavanagh
Program Coordinator
Manages program logistics and leads the career development workshops. Before joining education, Aisling worked in FP&A for seven years. She understands what hiring managers look for because she used to be one.
