Questions beforeyou begin.

Oriental Riverstone is an online financial career development company. Its programmes connect a specific target role with research, analysis, project work and professional review, helping participants build evidence they can explain rather than relying on generic résumé claims.

The programme is designed for university students, recent graduates, career changers and early-career professionals pursuing competitive finance roles. Suitability depends on your target, current foundation, available time and the work that would genuinely strengthen your profile.

Candidate Build offers Investment Banking & Corporate Finance, Equity Research & Asset Management, and Private Equity & Venture Capital. All three cost US$798 and run for eight weeks. Your selected direction determines the project, model and final report or memo.

Upload your English CV as a PDF and 1–3 clear screenshots of your target JD. Your first email contains a personalised Preview image, proposed project plan and payment entry. The Preview separates your existing background from planned simulated project work. It is not a completed-project claim.

Outputs vary by direction and may include financial modelling, valuation, company and industry research, an investment thesis, an investment memo, return analysis or a professional presentation. The agreed deliverables are confirmed before payment.

The programme runs for eight weeks: six weekly assignments followed by two weeks for portfolio revision and interview preparation. Eight scheduled written reviews support your progress. Your personalised plan sets out the project scope, workload and milestone dates before enrolment.

Weeks 1–6 each bring one assignment with step-by-step guidance, links and an individual template where needed. Weeks 7–8 focus on Evidence Portfolio revision, factual CV wording and project defence. Submit work in your Programme email thread. Eight written reviews are included, with one consolidated revision per weekly submission and feedback within three business days.

The commitment depends on existing skills, weekly availability and agreed deliverables. This is active project work rather than passive lecture content, so your recommended schedule will set realistic weekly expectations before payment.

Review focuses on source quality, analytical logic, assumptions, structure and communication. Feedback is used to strengthen both the work itself and your ability to explain the decisions behind it.

Completed work can support accurate project descriptions, stronger examples and clearer interview discussion. Your Evidence Portfolio brings together your final files, sources and revisions, with factual CV project wording and preparation to explain your own contribution. It documents simulated training, not employment or a qualification.

The intended outcomes are clearer role direction, stronger analytical capability, credible project evidence and a more precise professional narrative. Hiring decisions remain with employers, but the work gives you stronger material to demonstrate and discuss.

Payment is requested only after your application has been reviewed and you have received the proposed scope, deliverables, schedule, price and applicable terms. Cancellation and refund conditions depend on the stage of delivery; review the Refund Policy and Terms before payment.
