Financial Valuation Mastery
Learn the essential techniques that drive investment decisions
Our program takes you through the frameworks financial analysts actually use—from DCF models to comparable company analysis. You'll work through real company data and build the skills that matter in Australian finance markets.
Classes start in September 2025. We keep cohorts small because valuation needs hands-on practice, not just theory.

What You'll Actually Learn
Eight months of structured learning, built around the valuation methods you'll use most often. Each module includes company examples from ASX-listed firms and international markets.
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
DCF is everywhere in finance. We'll break down how to build models that hold up under scrutiny.
- Forecasting free cash flows with realistic assumptions
- Calculating weighted average cost of capital
- Terminal value approaches and their limitations
- Sensitivity analysis for key drivers
Comparable Company Analysis
Trading multiples give you quick reference points. But picking the right comparables makes all the difference.
- Selecting meaningful peer groups
- EV/EBITDA, P/E, and other common multiples
- Adjusting for differences in growth and risk
- When comps work and when they mislead
Precedent Transaction Analysis
Past M&A deals tell you what buyers actually paid. We'll show you how to read those signals.
- Finding relevant transaction data
- Deal premiums and control implications
- Adjusting for market conditions at transaction time
- Integrating transaction comps with trading comps
Practical Application Workshop
Theory only goes so far. You'll value real companies and defend your work.
- Building a complete valuation from scratch
- Presenting findings to peers and instructors
- Handling questions about your assumptions
- Recognizing where judgment matters most
