If you’re here, chances are you’re trying to break into high finance and build real skills that actually matter once you’re there. I know how hard that path can feel, because I’ve lived it.
I started my journey at a non-target school. I didn’t have a built-in network or a clear roadmap. I had to learn (often the hard way) what actually matters in interviews and on the desk.
Over time, I worked across investment banking, private equity, hedge funds, and mutual funds, and later began teaching as an MBA professor at Columbia. I've also spent years training professionals at leading finance firms.
What became clear to me was this: most finance training is outdated and focused on memorization, not real understanding.
Financeable is the training I wish I had starting out. It’s designed to help motivated candidates prepare the right way, develop real judgment, and have an edge over anyone who uses 'traditional' Wall Street Training.
If you’re willing to put in the work, you can break into Wall Street... and Financeable is here to help you along the way.
Breaking into investment banking or private equity is competitive, confusing, and often favors target-school candidates or strong networks.
Financeable was built to level the playing field. Instead of outdated guides or memorized answers, it teaches you to think, explain, and execute like a real analyst, preparing you for both interviews and the job itself.
Most finance training still looks like it did decades ago: long lectures over static slides packed with formulas, dense spreadsheets, and rote memorization.
Financeable takes a different approach. Built on modern learning science and technology, the platform helps concepts stick, reveals weaknesses faster, and accelerates mastery.
Mike and the Financeable team were instrumental in my success during internship recruiting. Coming from a non-target school with no established pipeline to Wall Street, I didn’t have resources like upperclassmen mentors to guide me. Financeable’s world-class training and interview preparation helped level the playing field...
After going through Financeable, I walked in very confidently into each of my four super days, secured offers in both investment banking and private equity and ultimately chose to go straight to the buy side out of undergrad to do growth and private equity at Insight Partners.
Financeable is by far the best finance training platform I have used. It simplifies complex concepts, targets weaknesses quickly, and applies them in real-life technical settings. All of these qualities were essential in adequately preparing me for both the investment banking recruitment process and internship itself...
Financeable is the reason I went from not knowing what a DCF is to landing a summer analyst role at Lazard from a non target.
As someone breaking in from a non-target school, working with Mike was one of the most impactful parts of my IB recruiting journey... Financeable’s approach to teaching is second to none. Mike takes complex ideas and explains them in a clear, step-by-step way that actually sticks, prioritizing understanding over memorization...
During my interviews, I got lots of positive feedback about my knowledge of a sell side process. Definitely recommend Mike’s courses as someone who came into recruiting with no prior finance knowledge.
... As an economics major entering recruiting, I worried I was behind peers with stronger finance backgrounds. Within weeks of starting Financeable, that gap closed and my grasp of finance became an advantage in recruiting. I highly recommend Financeable to anyone aiming to break into Wall Street.
If you’d told me I’d land 6 first-round interviews, a sophomore summer internship at VMG, and a junior summer internship at Evercore, I wouldn’t have believed you.
Coming from a liberal arts college, I really appreciated how Mike made sure I understood the technicals instead of just memorizing them. He’s a great teacher who always ties everything back to the big picture. Mike boosted my confidence in my technical skills, and I can’t recommend him and Financeable enough for anyone trying to break into finance.
Before starting the Desk Ready course, I had no prior experience with financial modeling. Since completing the program, I’ve been able to independently build multiple financial models using the concepts and technical skills I learned throughout the course.
Mike and Financeable played an instrumental role in my recruitment process. I was provided both the technical knowledge and practical guidance I needed to stand out as a candidate... Having a mentor figure in Mike who was always available and a constant support was a huge reason why I believe my recruitment and internship was successful.
Specific color-coding and best practices for Excel models is the kind of things people expect interns to already know, but that no one actually sits down and clearly explains it as well as Financeable does.
As someone coming from a non-target background, Mike played an integral role in my success during the IB recruitment process... When it comes to technical training, whether for interview preparation or getting ready to hit the desk, Financeable is an undisputed leader. Financeable takes complex concepts and breaks them down step-by-step, making them clear and accessible to everyone...
Financeable offers an entirely new approach that uses the latest technology and research-backed educational practices to empower both candidates and employers.
