Building Financial Clarity Through Research

We're a team dedicated to making fundamental analysis accessible and practical. Based in Canberra, we've spent years helping investors understand what really drives market value.

Our Story Started Simple

Back in 2019, we noticed something missing in financial education. People were getting flashy trading strategies but not the foundational skills to understand what makes companies actually valuable.

So we started small — just a few workshops in Mitchell, teaching friends and colleagues how to read financial statements properly. Word spread because the approach worked. We focused on real analysis, not quick fixes.

Today we're still that same team, just with more experience and better resources. We believe good investment decisions come from understanding businesses, not chasing trends.

What Drives Our Work

Research-First Approach

We teach you to dig into the numbers that matter. Financial statements tell stories, and we help you become fluent in that language.

Practical Application

Every concept we cover gets tested with real companies and actual scenarios. No theoretical fluff — just skills you can use immediately.

Long-term Perspective

Quick gains might grab headlines, but sustainable investing requires patience and thorough analysis. That's what we focus on teaching.

Led by Experience

Our lead instructor Keston Marlowe brings fifteen years of institutional research experience to every session. He's worked through market crashes, bull runs, and everything between.

Before starting Sparkcurrentnet, Keston spent a decade at major Australian investment firms, where he learned that the best analysts aren't the ones with the fanciest models — they're the ones who understand business fundamentals inside and out.

"I've seen too many smart people lose money because they skipped the basics. That's why we start with balance sheets and work our way up to complex valuations."

How We Teach Analysis

Foundation Building

We start with financial statement analysis — the backbone of fundamental research. You'll learn to spot red flags and identify genuine value before moving to advanced concepts.

Industry Context

Numbers mean nothing without context. We teach you to understand industry dynamics, competitive positioning, and market cycles that affect company performance.

Valuation Methods

Multiple approaches to determining fair value — from simple ratios to discounted cash flow models. You'll understand when to use each method and why.

Real-World Application

Theory meets practice through case studies of actual Australian companies. You'll analyze real businesses and defend your investment thesis with solid research.
