Learn From Finance Veterans

Our program puts you directly with practitioners who've spent decades in boardrooms, trading floors, and corporate strategy sessions. This isn't theoretical learning—it's real-world wisdom passed down through hands-on mentorship.

Meet Your Mentors

Marcus Thornfield, Senior Financial Strategist

Marcus Thornfield

Former Investment Director, 22 Years Experience

Marcus spent the better part of two decades managing portfolios worth over £500 million at tier-one investment firms. After seeing too many bright minds struggle with textbook theories that don't translate to real markets, he shifted to education in 2023. His approach? Start with what actually happens in client meetings, then work backwards to the principles.

Teaching Focus Areas:

  • Portfolio Strategy
  • Risk Assessment
  • Client Relations
  • Market Psychology
Helena Voss, Corporate Finance Expert

Helena Voss

Former CFO, Mergers & Acquisitions Specialist

Helena guided three major acquisitions through completion during her tenure as CFO at a FTSE 250 company. She knows the difference between financial models that look good on paper and deals that actually work. Her students learn to spot red flags in due diligence reports and understand what keeps executives awake during major transactions.

Teaching Focus Areas:

  • Financial Modeling
  • Due Diligence
  • Corporate Strategy
  • Stakeholder Management

How Practitioners Actually Teach

1

Case-First Learning

We start every session with a real scenario our instructors faced. No hypothetical examples—these are actual decisions they made, mistakes they learned from, and successes they can dissect for you.

2

Weekly Office Hours

Every Tuesday and Thursday, our instructors hold open sessions where you can bring specific challenges from your current role or projects. Think of it as having a senior mentor available whenever you're stuck.

3

Industry Network Access

Our instructors still maintain active relationships across finance sectors. High-performing students often receive introductions to hiring managers or project collaborators within their extended professional networks.

What Sets This Program Apart

Most finance education stops at theory. We bridge the gap between classroom concepts and boardroom reality through small cohorts and intensive mentorship periods.
