Making Sense of Financial Data Without the Jargon

Running a business means comparing your numbers against others. We break down company financials so you can spot opportunities and avoid mistakes that cost money.

What Makes Financial Comparison Actually Useful

Most people think comparing companies is just about reading balance sheets. But understanding what those numbers mean for your decisions? That's where things get interesting.

Revenue Patterns

We teach you how to spot seasonal trends and growth cycles that matter for your planning. Not every dip means trouble, and not every spike is sustainable.

Cost Structures

Understanding where competitors spend their money helps you allocate resources smarter. Sometimes high costs signal investment, other times just inefficiency.

Market Positioning

Numbers tell you where a company sits in its market. Profit margins, market share, pricing power—all visible if you know what to look for.

Real Analysis, Not Generic Templates

Our approach started from frustration. We kept seeing courses that taught theory but couldn't apply it to actual Vietnamese business conditions.

So we built something different. Our programs use real company data from Vietnam's markets—the businesses you actually compete with or want to understand.

You'll work with current financial statements, compare actual competitors, and learn to spot the red flags we've seen cost people serious money.

We focus on Vietnamese market specifics because what works for analyzing US tech companies doesn't always apply here. Different regulations, different investor expectations, different risks.

How We Build Your Analysis Skills

Learning financial comparison isn't about memorizing formulas. It's about developing judgment through practice with real scenarios.

Foundation Work

We start with reading financial statements properly. Most people skip past the notes section where the important context lives. You'll learn what matters and what's just noise.

Comparative Methods

Then we teach you frameworks for fair comparison. Comparing a 5-year-old startup to a 30-year-old corporation requires different approaches than comparing direct competitors.

Pattern Recognition

After that comes practice identifying patterns across industries. You'll see how retail financials differ from manufacturing, or how service businesses show different metrics than product companies.

Applied Projects

Finally, you complete analysis projects using real company data. These aren't academic exercises—they're the kind of comparisons investors and business owners actually need.

Who's Teaching This Stuff

Financial analysis attracts two types of teachers: academics who've never worked with real companies, and practitioners too busy to teach well. We try to be neither.

Liên Phạm

Lead Financial Instructor

Liên spent eight years doing equity research before she got tired of the hours. She started teaching part-time in 2019 and found she actually enjoyed explaining why financial metrics matter.

Her background includes analyzing over 200 Vietnamese companies for institutional investors. Now she uses those same techniques to help business owners understand their competitive position.

What makes her approach work is simple: she doesn't pretend analysis is harder than it is, but she also won't tell you it's easy. There's nuance in interpreting financial data, and she's good at showing you where it matters.

Learning Resources That Actually Help

We build materials based on questions students keep asking. If five people are confused about the same concept, we create something that addresses it directly.
