How We Approach Financial Education
Theory without practice creates confusion. We start with actual financial statements from real companies and work backwards to understand why analysts made specific conclusions.
- Begin with complete financial reports, not simplified examples that skip the complicated parts
- Learn to cross-reference between statements because inconsistencies often reveal the most important insights
- Practice identifying red flags that experienced analysts check first, before diving into detailed calculations
- Understand industry context because the same ratio means different things in different sectors
- Build frameworks for making recommendations when data points in multiple directions
