Building Financial Models That Actually Work

We've been teaching professionals how to create reliable financial models since 2020, focusing on practical skills that translate directly to real-world success.

Started With a Simple Problem

Back in 2020, we kept seeing the same issue everywhere. Finance professionals were struggling with models that looked impressive but fell apart when real decisions needed to be made.

Most training programs focused on theory or used oversimplified examples. But actual business models? They're messy, complex, and full of variables that textbooks don't prepare you for.

So we decided to change that. loraxivenep started as a response to this gap between classroom theory and boardroom reality.

Meet Your Instructors

Both of us learned the hard way that building reliable financial models requires more than just knowing Excel formulas.

How We Actually Teach This Stuff

Our approach is pretty straightforward. We start with real business scenarios and work backwards to build the models you'll need.

Real Case Studies

We begin with actual business situations our students have faced. No made-up examples or perfect data sets.

Build Together

You'll construct models alongside instructors, making mistakes and fixing them as we go. That's where real learning happens.

Test Under Pressure

We throw curveballs at your models to see how they hold up. Because boardroom presentations don't come with warnings.

What We Believe

Financial modeling isn't about creating the most sophisticated spreadsheet. It's about building tools that help people make better decisions with incomplete information.

We think the best models are the ones that can be explained to anyone in five minutes. If you can't walk your CEO through your assumptions, you probably haven't thought them through clearly enough.

"A model that works is better than a model that impresses. Every time." — Something we tell every student on their first day.

What Drives Our Teaching

These aren't just words on a wall. They're the principles that shape how we design every lesson and interaction.

Practical Over Perfect

We'd rather teach you to build a model that works under pressure than one that looks flawless in ideal conditions.

Honest About Limitations

Every model has blind spots. We teach you to identify and communicate those limitations clearly to stakeholders.

Speed Matters

In real business environments, you rarely have unlimited time. Our methods focus on building reliable models quickly.

Learn by Fixing

The best learning happens when something breaks. We intentionally create situations where you'll need to troubleshoot and adapt.
