From Confusion to Clarity
Back in early 2023, I was working with a group of engineering graduates who had brilliant analytical minds but felt completely overwhelmed by financial statements. They'd look at balance sheets like they were written in ancient hieroglyphs.
That's when we realized something important — financial analysis isn't about memorizing formulas or following rigid procedures. It's about developing a way of thinking that connects numbers to real business stories.
So we started small. Weekend workshops in Kuala Lumpur where people could practice with actual company data, ask questions without feeling stupid, and gradually build confidence through hands-on experience.
What surprised us was how quickly people progressed once they had the right foundation and supportive environment. Within months, participants were analyzing companies and making informed decisions they never thought possible.
