Understanding Financial Statements From the Ground Up
We started soravyntex back in 2019 because we kept seeing the same problem. Business owners would come to us with spreadsheets full of numbers but no real sense of what those numbers meant for their decisions.
Financial statements shouldn't feel like a mystery you need a degree to decode. They're just stories about your business told through numbers. And once you understand the language, those stories become incredibly useful.
Our approach is pretty straightforward. We teach practical analysis skills that you can actually use when making business decisions. No theoretical fluff or overly complex models that look impressive but don't help much in real situations.
What We Actually Believe In
These aren't corporate values we pulled from a template. They're the principles that guide how we build our programs and work with students.
Real-World Context Matters
Financial statements don't exist in a vacuum. We teach analysis alongside industry context, competitive dynamics, and business model understanding. Because a ratio that looks healthy in retail might signal trouble in software.
Questions Beat Formulas
Sure, we'll teach you the calculations. But more importantly, we'll teach you which questions to ask when you're looking at financial data. Critical thinking trumps memorization every time.
Honest About Limitations
Financial analysis has boundaries. It can't predict the future or tell you everything about a business. We're upfront about what the tools can and can't do, so you develop realistic expectations.
The People Behind the Programs
Our team brings together practical experience from different corners of finance. We've worked in corporate finance, consulting, small business, and education. That variety shows up in how we design our curriculum.
Esme Thorvaldsen
Senior Financial Educator
Esme spent fifteen years in corporate finance before transitioning to education. She has this gift for breaking down complex accounting concepts into plain language. Her specialty is helping people spot red flags in financial statements that might indicate bigger problems.
Briony Simonsen
Program Director
Before joining us in 2022, Briony ran financial analysis for a mid-sized consulting firm. She's particularly good at teaching ratio analysis in ways that stick. Her approach focuses on understanding the why behind calculations, not just the how.
