Building Financial Expertise Since 2019

We started forentasiql because too many talented analysts were struggling with outdated valuation methods that didn't reflect real market conditions.

Our Story

Back in 2019, I was consulting for mid-tier investment firms across Sydney and Melbourne. The same problem kept coming up — bright analysts using textbook DCF models that completely missed sector-specific nuances.

One particular case stuck with me. A mining company valuation that looked perfect on paper but ignored water rights issues that local analysts would catch immediately. That's when we realized the industry needed practical, Australia-focused training.

We built forentasiql around real case studies from ASX-listed companies, REIT valuations that actually work in our market, and the kind of sector knowledge you can only get from years of hands-on experience in Australian financial markets.

What We Actually Do

ASX-Specific Valuation Models

We teach DCF adjustments for Australian tax structures, franking credits impact on cost of equity, and how to handle the unique aspects of dual-listed companies. Our models reflect actual market conditions, not theoretical frameworks.

Sector Deep Dives

Mining valuations that account for royalty structures, REIT analysis considering WALE calculations, and bank valuations using local regulatory frameworks. Each sector gets the specialized attention it deserves.

Real Case Studies

We work through actual Australian company valuations — both successful calls and mistakes we've learned from. You'll see how theory translates into practice when dealing with ASX200 companies and emerging mid-caps.

Kieran Dunstan

Lead Valuation Instructor

Kieran spent twelve years as a senior analyst at Macquarie before joining us in 2021. His specialty is resources sector valuation — he's probably valued more lithium projects than anyone else in Australia. What I appreciate about his teaching style is how he breaks down complex commodity price assumptions into digestible frameworks that actually work in practice.

He's the one who convinced us to add the entire module on infrastructure valuations. Turns out, with all the government spending on renewable energy projects, analysts need to understand how to value assets with 20-year government contracts and regulatory price reviews.
