How We Think About Teaching Finance

Most training programs show you formulas. We show you judgment calls. Because that's what separates competent analysts from ones leadership actually trusts.

Context Before Calculation

You'll learn when NPV matters and when it doesn't. When to push back on a forecast, and what executive teams really care about in your analysis. Numbers need context to be useful.

Real Datasets, Messy Problems

Work with actual financial statements from Thai and regional companies. Deal with incomplete data. Make assumptions and defend them. This is how corporate finance actually happens.

Build Judgment Through Repetition

You'll analyze 20+ different scenarios during the program. Valuation exercises, capital structure decisions, M&A analysis. The pattern recognition comes from doing the work repeatedly.

What You'll Actually Work On

The program runs from September 2025 through February 2026. Six months of case-based learning where you tackle the kind of analysis senior finance teams handle regularly.

Each module builds on decisions analysts face when advising on capital allocation, evaluating investments, or assessing business performance. You work through scenarios individually, then review approaches in group sessions.

  • Financial modeling for capital budgeting and strategic investments using real company data
  • Valuation methods for M&A and strategic planning with emphasis on assumption testing
  • Working capital management and liquidity analysis under different business conditions
  • Capital structure decisions and financing alternatives with risk considerations
  • Performance measurement systems and how they influence management behavior
