Capital investment decisions shape your company's future. Our program teaches you how to evaluate projects, assess risk, and make financial choices that actually work in complex business environments.
Explore Fall 2025 Program
Most finance courses stop at formulas. We teach you how experienced analysts actually evaluate capital projects when uncertainty, competing priorities, and organizational politics enter the picture.
Learn to identify hidden costs, estimate realistic timelines, and account for factors that textbooks ignore but practitioners encounter daily.
Sensitivity analysis and scenario planning help you understand what could go wrong. We show you techniques that prepare you for board-level questions.
Projects compete for limited capital. You'll learn how to evaluate proposals within broader company goals and present recommendations that decision-makers trust.
Starting in September 2025, you'll work through case studies based on actual capital budgeting decisions from manufacturing, technology, and service companies.
Each week presents a new scenario. You'll build financial models, identify assumptions that need testing, and defend your recommendations to peers who challenge your thinking.
By November, you're analyzing multi-phase projects with interdependencies. The final project involves presenting to a panel that includes professionals who make these decisions for a living.
Our graduates often mention that the program changed how they read financial projections at work. They spot optimistic assumptions faster and ask better questions during planning meetings.
Twelve weeks that build your analytical capability systematically. Each module prepares you for increasingly complex decisions.
Weeks 1-3 cover time value of money, discount rates, and basic project valuation. You'll understand why WACC matters and when it doesn't apply cleanly.
Weeks 4-7 focus on cash flow estimation, tax considerations, and working capital impacts. Real project examples show where estimates typically go wrong.
Weeks 8-10 introduce sensitivity analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, and real options thinking. You'll learn when sophisticated methods add value versus when simpler approaches suffice.
Weeks 11-12 bring everything together. Your capstone project requires defending a capital allocation recommendation that balances financial metrics with strategic considerations.
Your instructors have evaluated capital projects worth hundreds of millions. They know what works in theory and what actually happens when you present to a CFO.
Lead Instructor
Spent fifteen years in corporate finance before teaching. Desmond evaluates capital requests for a mid-sized manufacturing company and brings current examples to every session. His students appreciate his directness about what matters in real decisions.
Investment Analysis Specialist
Rhiannon worked in private equity before moving to advisory work. She's reviewed hundreds of investment memoranda and knows exactly what makes analysts question your assumptions. Her feedback on financial models is detailed and practical.
This program helps finance professionals make better capital allocation decisions. It also prepares analysts who want to move into roles where they evaluate major investments rather than just build models.
Recent participants include financial analysts preparing for senior roles, project managers who need to understand the financial evaluation of their proposals, and consultants who advise clients on capital planning.
The fall 2025 cohort begins September 8th. Classes meet Tuesday evenings, with occasional Saturday workshops for complex case discussions.
We maintain small groups because capital budgeting benefits from detailed case discussion. You'll have plenty of opportunity to present your analysis and get specific feedback.
