Financial Research Workshops & Seminars
We run hands-on sessions throughout the year focused on practical research techniques. These aren't lectures — people come to work through problems, test methods, and share what actually works. Most attendees are building skills for personal projects or career shifts, and the discussions tend to be pretty candid about what's realistic.
Upcoming Sessions in 2026
Data Collection Techniques for Market Analysis
Half-day workshop covering reliable data sources, API usage, and validation methods. We'll work with actual datasets and troubleshoot common issues that come up during collection phases.
Understanding Financial Statements Workshop
Three-hour intensive on reading balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow reports. You'll analyze real company filings and learn what experienced analysts look for beyond the obvious numbers.
Research Documentation Best Practices
This one's about creating work you can actually use months later. We'll cover note-taking systems, citation management, and building research databases that scale with your projects.
Quantitative Methods for Non-Statisticians
Full-day session on statistical approaches that don't require advanced math. Focus on practical application — regression basics, correlation analysis, and knowing when fancy models aren't necessary.
Session Leaders
Our workshops are led by people who've spent years doing this work professionally. They bring real experience with messy datasets, difficult research questions, and the kind of problems you can't solve with textbook solutions.
Callum Fitzwilliam
Senior Financial Analyst
Callum's been analyzing market data for institutional clients since 2012. He's known for making complex statistical methods accessible and has a practical approach to research design that resonates with beginners.
Sienna Ravenswood
Research Methodology Specialist
