Behind the Numbers

We started Artisanex Alpha because financial ratios shouldn't feel like ancient hieroglyphs. Every business owner deserves to read their numbers with confidence.

Our Story Started Simple

Back in 2018, I was sitting across from a restaurant owner who'd built an incredible business over fifteen years. Great food, loyal customers, packed every weekend. But when we looked at his current ratio together, he just stared at the page.

"I know my business is doing well," he said, "but I have no idea what these numbers are trying to tell me."

That conversation changed everything. We realized there's a massive gap between having financial data and actually understanding what it means for your specific business. So we built something different.

Real Understanding

We don't just explain what debt-to-equity ratio means. We show you exactly how it applies to your industry, your situation, your next decision.

Practical Application

Every concept connects directly to real business scenarios. You'll learn to spot opportunities and red flags before they impact your bottom line.

No Jargon Zone

Financial education that sounds like actual conversation. We translate complex concepts into language that makes sense in your daily operations.

How We Actually Teach

Most financial education treats every business the same. We know that's not how the real world works. Your restaurant has different concerns than a tech startup or manufacturing company.

We've developed what we call contextual ratio analysis. Instead of memorizing formulas, you learn to interpret what your specific numbers mean for your specific business model.

  • Industry-specific examples and benchmarks
  • Case studies from real businesses
  • Interactive scenarios based on actual situations
  • Tools that work with your existing financial systems

Founder & Lead Instructor

Sarah spent her early career at Ernst & Young, but quickly realized her real passion was bridging the gap between complex financial analysis and practical business decision-making.

"I've seen too many smart business owners make costly mistakes simply because no one ever explained financial ratios in a way that actually connected to their daily reality," Sarah explains. "That's what we're changing."

When she's not creating new educational content, Sarah consults with mid-sized businesses on financial strategy and speaks at industry conferences about accessible financial education.
