Back in 2019, I watched three businesses fail not because they weren't profitable — but because they couldn't read their own numbers. That's what drives us. We teach you to see what your balance sheet is actually telling you, before small problems become survival issues.
Core Competencies
Forget theory. Our curriculum is built from real audit findings and crisis situations we've navigated with Taiwan-based enterprises over the past six years.
Current ratio, quick ratio, cash ratio — you'll understand not just the formulas but what triggers alarm bells when ratios shift. We use actual case studies from manufacturing firms facing seasonal payment cycles.
Operating, investing, financing activities. Learn to spot when companies are borrowing to cover operations versus growing strategically. We walk through real statements from businesses that recovered and ones that didn't.
Debt-to-equity, interest coverage, and leverage ratios tell different stories depending on industry context. You'll practice analyzing actual capital structures from Taiwan's tech and traditional sectors.
Learning Framework
Most finance courses throw textbook examples at you. We don't. Every lesson starts with a real financial statement — sometimes from companies that thrived, sometimes from ones that collapsed despite looking healthy on paper.
You'll analyze 40+ financial statements throughout the program, learning to spot warning signs before they're obvious. Think of it as building your financial intuition through repetition.
A healthy current ratio in retail looks different from manufacturing. We break down Taiwan's key sectors so you understand when standard benchmarks apply and when they mislead.
Beyond identifying problems, you'll develop methodologies for recommending solutions. What works for turning around liquidity issues versus solvency crises? The approaches differ significantly.
Our next cohort starts September 2025. The curriculum runs twelve weeks with live case workshops every Saturday morning. We keep groups small — maximum 18 participants.
Weeks 1-3: Financial statement fundamentals
Weeks 4-6: Ratio interpretation and trends
Weeks 7-8: Warning signals and red flags
Weeks 9-10: Real company analysis
Week 11: Recovery frameworks
Week 12: Final project presentation
We don't promise career transformations or guaranteed outcomes. But participants consistently tell us the program changed how they read financial information.
