About Us

Our Story

It’s 2 a.m.

The only lights on are the ones from your screen, a half-empty coffee cup sits on your desk, and you're deep in an Excel model, trying to make the numbers tie.

For any analyst in investment banking, this scene is a rite of passage. For us, it was the training ground where we learned a crucial lesson: what you learn in a lecture hall is worlds away from what you need to know on the job.

We are former investment bankers, private equity investors, and corporate strategists. We’ve sat on both sides of the interview table, built countless financial models for multi-billion dollar deals, and presented to boards and investment committees. We’ve lived and breathed the high-stakes world of corporate finance, and we know exactly what it takes to succeed.

Throughout our careers, we've interviewed dozens of bright, ambitious graduates. They had impressive degrees from top universities and a genuine passion for finance.

Yet, we saw the same pattern repeat itself: they could discuss corporate finance theory, but when faced with a practical case study or a financial modelling test, they froze. There was a clear and critical gap between academic knowledge and the real-world technical skills that top-tier firms demand from day one.

Why We Started Goliath

Why We Started Goliath

We realized that the guidance and training we needed when starting our careers simply didn’t exist anywhere else.

We founded Goliath Academy to bridge that gap. We didn’t want to be another online course with pre-recorded videos. We wanted to recreate the hands-on learning environment of an investment bank’s training program—intense, practical, and taught by people who have actually done the job.

Our mission is simple: to give aspiring finance professionals the specific, job-ready modeling skills they need to not just pass an interview, but to excel in their careers. We’re here to demystify financial modeling, share the unwritten rules of the industry, and provide the mentorship we wish we had.

What We Hope to Achieve

Our goal is to empower the next generation of finance leaders. We believe that talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. By providing accessible, expert-led training, we aim to level the playing field. Nothing is more rewarding to us than seeing our students master a complex model, walk into an interview with unshakable confidence, and land their dream role.


At Goliath Academy, your career is our passion. We’re not just teaching you how to build a model; we’re teaching you how to think, act, and perform like a top-tier analyst.
