Essential Preparation Steps

1

Assess Your Current Financial Knowledge

Before diving into our comprehensive financial analysis tools, it's helpful to understand where you stand. You don't need to be a financial guru to start – but knowing your starting point helps us tailor our approach to your needs.

  • Take stock of your existing financial knowledge and experience
  • Identify areas where you feel confident vs. topics that seem challenging
  • Consider what financial goals you hope to achieve through our program
  • Reflect on your learning style – do you prefer visual guides, hands-on practice, or conceptual explanations?

Many of our most successful students arrive with basic spreadsheet skills and a willingness to learn. What matters most is your commitment to the process!

Technical Requirements & Setup

Our financial software and tools work best when you have the right technical setup. Before your first session, make sure you've got these basics covered:

  • A reliable computer with an updated operating system (Windows 10+ or macOS 10.14+)
  • Stable internet connection (minimum 5Mbps download speed)
  • Latest version of Chrome, Firefox, or Edge browser installed
  • Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or similar spreadsheet software
  • About 10GB of free disk space for software installation and working files

Can't meet all these requirements? No problem – give us a call at +353877617720, and we'll help you find workarounds to get you started.

Gather Your Financial Information

Having your key financial documents handy will make your learning journey smoother and more relevant to your situation. We recommend collecting:

  • Recent bank statements (last 3 months)
  • Investment account information (if applicable)
  • Monthly budget or spending records
  • Any financial goals you've previously documented
  • Questions about your specific financial situation you'd like answered

Don't worry if you don't have everything – start with what's accessible. The more relevant information you bring to the table, the more personalized your experience will be!

The technical setup suggestions saved me huge headaches. I almost started with an outdated browser that would've caused problems. Spending 20 minutes getting properly set up made the entire learning experience smooth and frustration-free.
