Meet professionals who found their path through financial analysis education and built meaningful careers through dedicated learning
Harpreet Singh
Financial Analyst at Regional Bank
Worked in retail management for eight years but felt stuck in a career with limited growth potential. Had basic math skills but no formal finance background. Struggled with spreadsheets and felt intimidated by financial terminology.
Started with fundamental courses in January 2024, spending evenings after work studying ratio analysis and financial statement basics. The breakthrough came when complex valuation models finally clicked during a practical case study exercise.
Now analyzing loan applications and creating risk assessment reports. Recently completed a portfolio analysis that helped identify underperforming assets worth RM2.3 million. Planning to pursue advanced certification in credit analysis this year.

Engineering graduate with strong technical skills but zero finance knowledge. Applied for analyst positions repeatedly but couldn't pass technical interviews. Felt overwhelmed by financial jargon and market terminology during networking events.
Enrolled in comprehensive financial modeling courses in March 2024. The analytical thinking from engineering actually helped with complex calculations once he understood the underlying concepts. Built confidence through hands-on project work.
Creates detailed sector analysis reports and builds financial models for equity research. Recent palm oil industry analysis was cited by three institutional clients. Mentors new team members and leads technical training sessions.
