Learn with me
Most analysts learn how to build models. Very few are exposed to how those models are evaluated under scrutiny. My workshops bridge that gap — teaching valuation from the perspective of someone who has reviewed hundreds of models for Big 4 audit teams over 11 years.
Explored how valuations look fundamentally different when reviewed through a defensibility lens vs a construction lens. Covered assumption fragility, terminal value sensitivity, and what auditors actually look for.
Worked through a live case study examining how methodology choice influences the interpretation of value — especially when analysts rely on a single method without examining underlying assumptions.
The next session in the Reviewer's Lens series is being planned. Leave your details and you will be the first to know — with early-bird pricing.

Insights
Forecasts are opinions, not facts. WACC can quietly do the heavy lifting. Terminal value usually decides the number. Valuation is about clarity on what drives the number, not perfection.
