What You'll Actually Learn
Financial statements aren't just columns of numbers. They tell stories about business health, operational efficiency, and future viability. But you need to know what to look for.
Our program starts with balance sheets and income statements, then moves into cash flow analysis and ratio interpretation. By month four, you'll be comparing quarterly reports and identifying trends. Month six brings valuation basics and industry benchmarking.

Ratio Analysis
Liquidity, profitability, efficiency, and leverage ratios that highlight operational strengths and weaknesses.
Trend Identification

Months three through five focus on comparative analysis, trend identification, and industry benchmarking. You'll analyze statements from at least fifteen different companies.
