We teach investors to read the numbers
lorenyxava started in 2018 when a group of finance professionals noticed something odd. People were making investment decisions without really understanding the reports they were reading.
So we built something different. Not another investment platform or advisory service, but actual education about what those financial statements mean and how to interpret them.
We're based in Lismore, but we work with investors from Brisbane down to Melbourne. Most of our programs run online, though we do meet face-to-face when it makes sense.
What drives our approach
We built lorenyxava around some pretty straightforward ideas about how financial education should work.
Real documents only
We use actual annual reports, ASX filings, and real quarterly statements in our programs. You'll learn by working with the same documents you'll encounter when researching companies. No simplified examples that don't reflect what you'll actually face.
Industry context matters
A retail company's cash flow looks nothing like a mining operation's numbers. We teach you to understand financial reports within their industry context rather than applying generic formulas that miss important details.
Questions over answers
Our programs focus on teaching you what questions to ask when reading reports. The right question often matters more than memorizing ratios. We want you to develop judgment, not just follow checklists.
Practical timelines
Most participants spend six to twelve months developing solid financial literacy. We're upfront about that timeframe because shortcuts don't work when you're learning to analyse complex documents.
How we structure learning
Our programs follow a sequence that builds from basic document literacy to more complex analysis.
Document fundamentals
You start by learning to navigate actual financial statements. Where to find specific information, what the terminology means, and how different sections connect. Most people spend about six weeks here getting comfortable with the basic structure.
Pattern recognition
Once you can read the documents, we move into identifying patterns across multiple reporting periods. You'll learn what normal variation looks like versus changes that deserve deeper investigation.
Industry comparison
We introduce sector-specific analysis methods. Retail, resources, tech, and financial services all require different lenses. You'll work with reports from multiple companies in the same industry to understand typical patterns.
Independent analysis
The final stage involves analysing companies you choose. You apply what you've learned to real investment research projects, with feedback from our team on your methodology and conclusions.
Who we work with
Most of our participants are individual investors who manage their own portfolios. Some are new to investing and want to build proper literacy before committing capital. Others have been investing for years but realized they were relying too much on analyst reports rather than their own understanding.
We also work with small investment clubs and professional groups who want structured training for their members.
Self-directed investors
People who want to make informed decisions based on their own analysis rather than following recommendations.
Career changers
Professionals considering moves into financial analysis or investment research who need foundation skills.
Business owners
Entrepreneurs who want to better understand their own financial statements and those of potential acquisition targets.
Who runs lorenyxava
Our programs are designed and taught by people who've spent years working with financial reports in professional settings.
Callum Driscoll
Lead Instructor
Callum spent twelve years as an equity analyst covering Australian mid-caps before starting lorenyxava. He got tired of seeing retail investors make decisions based on incomplete understanding of financial reports. He designed our curriculum around the analysis methods he used professionally, adapted for individual investors. When he's not teaching, he's usually testing new case studies or updating materials to reflect recent reporting changes.
