Real notes from finance, analytics, and data professionals who've worked with Matt.
“I learned and did things over the course I never thought I'd be able to do on my own. This course pushed me to my 'learning' limits, but in the best way possible [and] helped me land my dream job.”
“Matt has been very helpful to me as I pivot careers to data analytics. He is very knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and helpful. He provided valuable guidance to me for this career path, and I'm happy to say that I just accepted my first analytics position.”
“Matt is not only passionate about analytics, he encouraged me in and advocated for my analytic pursuits. He is a person you can trust and learn from. If you have an opportunity to work with Matt, I highly recommend that you take it.”

"I spent twenty years climbing the analytics ladder to the CFO seat. I left it to help the people still on the way up: ambitious, good at the work, and not yet sure of their next move."
Founder of TMB Analytics. Twenty years in finance and analytics, from junior analyst at Citi to CFO of a PE-backed international software vertical.
I've run the close, built the models, defended the forecast, and sat in the board meeting where the number got questioned. I saw the same thing everywhere. Really good people with real ambition, ready for more, and no clear map to the next level. That is the gap I built TMB Analytics to close.
