Read Financial Statements Like Someone Who Actually Gets It
Most people look at balance sheets and see numbers. We'll help you see the story behind those numbers. Real financial analysis starts when you understand what the data is telling you about business health, risk, and opportunity.

Your Path From Numbers to Insights
Financial analysis isn't something you figure out overnight. It's a skill you build step by step. Here's how we'll walk through it together.
Foundation Work
Before you analyze anything, you need to know what you're looking at. We start with the three core statements and why each one matters. You'll understand the basic structure before we add complexity.
Pattern Recognition
Numbers tell stories through patterns. You'll learn to spot red flags in cash flow, identify strength in balance sheets, and understand what profit margins actually reveal about operations. This is where analysis starts feeling intuitive.
Context Building
A ratio means nothing without context. We'll teach you how to compare across industries, spot seasonal variations, and understand what's normal for different business models. This is where good analysis separates from mediocre guesswork.
Why Financial Analysis Matters More Than Ever
The Taiwan market has gotten more complex. Cross-strait relationships, semiconductor dependencies, and global supply chain shifts all show up in financial statements if you know where to look.
What You'll Actually Learn
Cash Flow Reality Checks
Profit on paper doesn't always mean cash in the bank. You'll learn why cash flow analysis catches problems before they become crises. We'll show you how companies that look profitable on the income statement can still run out of money, and more importantly, how to spot this happening before it's obvious to everyone else.
Ratio Analysis That Makes Sense
Current ratio, quick ratio, debt-to-equity. These aren't just formulas to memorize. Each one tells you something specific about how a business operates and where it might be vulnerable. We teach you which ratios matter for which questions.
Reading Between the Lines
The footnotes matter as much as the statements. Accounting policies, contingent liabilities, related party transactions – this is where companies reveal what they'd rather keep quiet. We'll teach you what to look for and why it matters.
What Past Participants Say
Håkan Lindqvist
Credit Manager, Manufacturing Sector
I've been making credit decisions for eight years, mostly on gut feel and basic ratios. This program showed me what I was missing. Now I catch warning signs in cash conversion cycles that I used to overlook completely. Worth every hour I spent on it.
Siobhan Flannery
Financial Controller, Tech Industry
The case studies made the difference for me. Seeing how different industries use working capital differently, understanding why tech companies can operate with negative working capital while manufacturers can't – that context changed how I evaluate our own financial position and our partners.
