Meet Your Lead Instructor
Astoria Belmont brings fifteen years of experience from London's financial district, where she's worked with everyone from startups to FTSE 100 companies. Her approach focuses on practical application rather than theory.
"Most finance education gets stuck in textbook examples. I teach the messy realities of actual budget performance work — dealing with incomplete data, tight deadlines, and stakeholders who need clear answers fast."
Before joining our team, Astoria managed financial operations for a mid-size consultancy and developed performance metrics systems that helped them improve profit margins by 23% over two years.
