Are You Feeling Lost Trying to Trying to Navigate High Finance Recruiting?

So Were We!

Here’s How We Mastered Financial Modeling, Cracked the Recruitment Code, and Got the Offers - Now We’re Here to Clear the Path For You!

We have been in your shoes - The Trap

We understand your frustration because we were exactly in your shoes not long ago. During our academics, like many of you, we were lured into buying every "bundle" out there—the “Investment Banking Bundle,” the “Excel Bundle,” and even the “Accounting Bundle.”

The content was overwhelming, outdated, and full of holes. There were no step-by-step guides or relevant examples to follow, and we found ourselves more confused than when we started.

It wasn’t until we abandoned these endless bundles and began focusing on first principles that we truly understood financial modeling—and realized we could create something better!

Networking - Go to Hell!

We followed the typical advice given to students and professionals trying to break into high finance careers.

We polished our resumes, built our LinkedIn profiles, networked like crazy, and sent hundreds of DMs. The result? We wasted more time than we care to admit. We started to brainstorm again.

We asked ourselves an important question - what do finance companies actually look for and want from us?

The answer to this question laid the foundation for the breakthrough that we needed!

From Struggle to Success - Now It’s Your Turn

We’ve been through the same struggles as you—lost in endless bundles, overwhelmed by outdated content, and frustrated by irrelevant advice.

But we found a way out, and we turned our journey into a success story by mastering financial modeling and cracking the recruitment process.

Now, we’ve created this platform to share that knowledge with you. We want to help you achieve the same success, whether it’s in your academic work or in landing your dream job in finance.

Your journey starts here! Let’s make sure it’s an epic one culminating in you securing your dream offer.

DIY or DIE

After struggling through disorganized content and confusing models, we took matters into our own hands.

We went back to first principles, learning every detail of financial modeling from the ground up. We built robust models using real data and sophisticated methodologies. Every formula, every calculation—we learned it all, applied it and successfully navigated our academic endeavors.

Next came the recruitment season. Confident in our skills, we thought we could breeze past it. Little did we know, that we were in for shocks and frustrations that was going to send chills down our spines.

Cracking the Code - And Taking MASSIVE Action…

In Investment Banks, Private Equity, and Distressed Finance, decisions hinge on how well analysts can model valuations—where the stakes are sky-high.

If you can show that you can build solid models from day one, the company saves time and money, putting you straight into multi-million dollar projects that run on tight deadlines.

Instead of just submitting resumes, we researched each company, built DCF or LBO models based on their deals, and attached them to our applications. It showed we took charge, weren’t afraid to make bold moves, and then—like opening Pandora’s box—the offers started pouring in.
