About Us
In a world overflowing with cookie-cutter training programs, Boon Peng and Nicholas saw an opportunity to make a difference. Boon Peng, a management consultant, and Nicholas, a seasoned corporate finance expert, has spent years navigating the corporate landscape. They knew firsthand the challenges young professionals and students face in bridging the gap between academic knowledge and real-world application.
That’s why they founded Master Excel—a startup dedicated to delivering personalized and practical corporate finance and consulting courses for students and early-career professionals who are eager to excel in their roles.
At Master Excel, we do things differently. While the market is flooded with overwhelming of resources, our approach is built on three key principles:
1
Personalization at Its Core
No two professionals are alike, so why should their learning be? Each course is tailored to your unique career aspirations and learning needs. Whether you’re tackling financial models or refining consulting frameworks, our sessions adapt to help you master the skills most relevant to your goals.
2
Unwavering Alignment of Interests
Unlike traditional training providers, we don’t rely on this business to make a living. This means we’re not here to upsell you on programs you don’t need. Your success at work is our success. We prioritize your growth, ensuring that our recommendations are rooted in what’s best for you, not in hitting sales targets.
3
Real-World Expertise
Boon Peng and Nicholas bring years of experience and insider knowledge to every session. They’ve been in your shoes, and they know what it takes to thrive. Our courses aren’t about theory; they’re about equipping you with the tools and insights to stand out in the workplace from day one.
At Excel, our mission is simple: helping you excel at your job and beyond. With a commitment to authenticity, practicality, and excellence, we’re not just another training company—we’re your partners in success.
Welcome to Master Excel. Let’s build your future, together.
