Built on Real Financial Analysis Experience
We started Savant Connection because too many business professionals were struggling with financial analysis that actually matters. Not textbook theory, but the practical skills needed to assess whether a company can pay its bills next month or survive a market downturn.
Teaching since 2019Why We Focus on Liquidity and Solvency
Back in 2018, I was consulting for a manufacturing firm in Incheon. They had impressive revenue numbers and their income statement looked solid. But when I dug into their balance sheet, I found a company burning through cash reserves while their accounts payable kept growing.
Three months later, they couldn't make payroll. The warning signs were all there in their liquidity ratios, but nobody on their finance team knew how to read them properly.
So we built our curriculum around the questions that actually keep business owners up at night. Can we cover our short-term obligations? Is our debt load sustainable? Are we managing working capital efficiently? These aren't abstract concepts when you're running a company.
How We Actually Teach This Stuff
Real Company Data
We don't use made-up practice problems. Our students analyze actual financial statements from Korean companies across different industries. Sometimes those statements show healthy businesses. Sometimes they reveal problems.
Practical Application First
Theory comes second in our approach. Students start by looking at numbers and trying to figure out what's happening with a business. Then we explain the analytical frameworks that help make sense of those patterns.
Context Matters
A current ratio of 1.5 might be fine for a software company but concerning for a construction firm. We teach students to understand industry norms and business models, not just calculate numbers.
Who's Teaching These Programs
Henrik Johanssen
Lead Instructor
Spent 14 years doing credit analysis for SMEs before switching to education. I got tired of seeing businesses fail because nobody taught their finance teams proper liquidity management.
Marcel Dubois
Curriculum Director
Former turnaround consultant who specialized in identifying solvency issues early. Now I design training programs that help finance professionals spot those same warning signs.
Our teaching team has worked in credit analysis, corporate finance, and business consulting. We've seen what happens when companies don't monitor their liquidity properly. And we've seen how the right analysis can help businesses make better decisions about expansion, debt management, and operational efficiency.
We're not academics who never worked in industry. Every instructor has spent years analyzing real balance sheets and cash flow statements. That experience shapes how we teach. Our students tell us the practical perspective makes the difference between understanding concepts and being able to apply them.
What We've Built Since 2019
340+
Finance managers, business analysts, and company owners who completed our full liquidity and solvency analysis program. About half were looking to strengthen their existing skills, the other half were transitioning into financial analysis roles.
89%
Most students finish the program they start with us. We think that's because we focus on practical application instead of drowning people in theory. When you can immediately use what you're learning, you're more motivated to keep going.
4.6/5
Based on post-program surveys from 2024. Students particularly appreciate the real company case studies and the focus on Korean business contexts rather than generic international examples.
