Professional Development Programs

We've designed our training around what finance teams actually need — practical skills they can use immediately, not academic theory they'll forget.

Advanced Valuation Intensive

Three-day workshop covering DCF modeling, comparable company analysis, and precedent transactions. Perfect for analysts and associates who want to build confidence in their valuations.

Next session: March 2025 in Sydney. Small groups of 8-12 participants for hands-on learning.

Financial Modeling Masterclass

Build robust, error-resistant models that actually work in practice. We'll show you the shortcuts and best practices that experienced analysts use but rarely share.

Format: Two full days plus follow-up session. Includes Excel templates and real case studies from Australian deals.

Team Training Solutions

Bring our instructors to your office for customized training. We'll work with your actual deals and models, addressing the specific challenges your team faces.

Popular option: Half-day sessions spread over several weeks. Minimal disruption to daily operations.

Executive Finance Briefings

Senior management sessions focused on understanding valuation outputs rather than building models. Great for executives who need to interpret and challenge financial analysis.

Duration: 4-hour intensive session covering key concepts and red flags to watch for in financial presentations.

Learn from Someone Who's Been There

Marcus Hartwell spent fifteen years in investment banking and corporate finance before starting seranithqol's education programs. He's valued everything from mining companies to tech startups, and he knows which techniques actually work in practice.

"Too many finance courses teach textbook methods that fall apart when you're facing a real deadline with messy data," Marcus says. "I teach the approach I wish someone had shown me when I was starting out."

How We Actually Teach This Stuff

1

Start with Real Examples

We begin each session with actual deals from the Australian market. No hypothetical case studies — we use transactions that participants might have read about in the AFR.

2

Build Models Together

Everyone follows along on their laptops as we construct valuation models step by step. We pause frequently for questions and explain why we make each choice.

3

Address Common Mistakes

We deliberately introduce errors and show how to spot them. These are the same mistakes we see repeatedly in real-world models, so knowing how to catch them is crucial.

4

Practice with Your Data

In the final portion, participants work with their own companies or deals. This is where the learning really sticks — when they apply the techniques to familiar situations.
