Structured courses for analysts who need to build reliable models — not just pass an exam.
Bornapeskt was built in 2014 around a specific frustration: most financial modelling instruction stops at the formula level. It shows you how to write a DCF but not why the assumptions behind it are often wrong, and what to do when they are.
Our curriculum covers three-statement modelling, LBO structures, sensitivity tables, and scenario analysis — through assignments that require real decisions, not just replication.
Instructors review models submitted by learners and leave specific comments — on structure, on logic, on what would happen if an auditor looked at the same file. That feedback loop is the part most online programmes skip.
A small team of practitioners and educators who have worked across corporate finance, private equity, and financial reporting.
Curriculum Lead — Modelling
Spent eight years in corporate finance before joining Bornapeskt. Designs the three-statement and LBO modules.
Instructor — Scenario Analysis
Former financial reporting analyst. Leads the sensitivity and scenario modules, and reviews learner submissions.
Each module opens with a real situation — a model with a flaw, a set of conflicting projections — before explaining the underlying principle. Context first, theory second.
Learners submit working Excel files. Instructors return specific comments — not scores. The goal is to understand why the model is structured the way it is.
No cohorts, no deadlines. Learners move at the speed that suits their schedule, and can revisit any module without restriction.
