Build a Career That Actually Makes Sense

We're not going to pretend that working here will change your life overnight. But if you're interested in helping people get better with spreadsheet financial tools, this might be worth your time.

Our team spends most days creating learning materials, working with students, and trying to make financial management less intimidating. It's detailed work that requires patience and a genuine interest in teaching.

Currently, we're preparing for autumn 2025 programs and looking for people who bring more to the table than just technical skills.

How We Actually Develop Our Team

Most companies throw you into the deep end and call it training. We've found that doesn't work particularly well when you're teaching others. So we built something different over the past few years.

1

Foundation Quarter

Your first three months focus on understanding how people actually learn financial tools. You'll shadow experienced instructors and start working with small groups by week eight.

  • Financial spreadsheet fundamentals
  • Adult learning principles
  • Curriculum structure basics
  • Student assessment methods
2

Development Phase

Months four through nine let you take on more responsibility. You'll design lesson components, lead full sessions, and work directly with learners who need extra support.

  • Advanced formula instruction
  • Data visualization techniques
  • Individual coaching skills
  • Content creation workflows
3

Specialization Track

After your first year, you'll choose an area that matches your interests. Some focus on curriculum design, others prefer direct instruction or student mentorship.

  • Specialized financial modeling
  • Program development
  • Assessment design
  • Advanced teaching methods

Realistic Career Progression

Months 1-6: Junior Educator

You're learning our systems and starting to work with students under supervision. Most people feel fairly overwhelmed during this period, which is normal.

Months 7-18: Associate Educator

By now you're running sessions independently and contributing to curriculum updates. You'll have specific student groups assigned to you.

18+ Months: Senior Educator

At this stage you're mentoring newer team members and taking on program design responsibilities. Some people move into specialized roles in content development or student support.

3+ Years: Lead Positions

Leadership roles open up for those interested. This might mean managing a curriculum area, leading instructor teams, or developing new program offerings.

People You'd Actually Work With

Here are two team members who've been around long enough to know whether this place is actually worth working at.

Torsten Bjarnesen

Senior Financial Education Specialist

I started here in 2022 after working in accounting for eight years. Turns out I preferred teaching people how to use financial tools rather than just using them myself. The switch took some adjustment, but most days I'm glad I made the change. I mainly work with intermediate learners now and help develop our advanced spreadsheet curriculum.

Ilkka Ruotsalainen

Lead Curriculum Developer

Joined in early 2023 after teaching business software at a university for five years. What drew me here was the focus on practical application rather than theory. I spend most of my time designing course materials and figuring out better ways to explain complicated concepts. The work's pretty detailed but satisfying when students actually get it.

Current Openings for Autumn 2025

We're expanding our program offerings and need a few people who understand both financial tools and how to teach them. Applications close in July 2025, with positions starting September.
