Building Financial Excellence Since 2018

We started Device-Chat because too many brilliant analysts were getting lost in outdated corporate finance methods. Seven years later, we've helped reshape how Korean companies approach financial planning.

Our Journey

From a small consulting group in Daegu to Korea's leading corporate finance training organization — here's how we got here.

2018

The Beginning

Founded by Mirabel Kato after witnessing countless finance teams struggle with outdated modeling techniques. Our first client was a mid-sized manufacturing company that couldn't figure out why their cash flow projections kept missing the mark.

2020

Pandemic Pivot

When COVID hit, Korean businesses needed financial guidance more than ever. We quickly adapted our consulting approach and launched our first structured training programs for remote teams.

2022

Technology Integration

Invested heavily in modern financial modeling tools and created our proprietary methodology that combines traditional Korean business practices with contemporary analytical frameworks.

2025

Expanding Reach

Now serving companies across Korea while developing our most comprehensive analyst certification program. We're preparing the next generation of finance professionals for an evolving marketplace.

What We Actually Do

Forget the typical consulting jargon. We work with finance teams who know their numbers but want to present them better, plan more effectively, and make decisions with greater confidence.

  • Financial modeling that works in Korean business contexts
  • Cash flow analysis for manufacturing and tech sectors
  • Investment evaluation frameworks
  • Risk assessment methodologies
  • Team training programs

Our Philosophy

Finance isn't about perfect spreadsheets or impressive presentations. It's about understanding what the numbers actually mean and being able to explain that to people who need to make important decisions.

We believe the best analysts combine technical skill with clear communication. Too many finance professionals get caught up in complexity when simplicity would serve their companies better.

Practical Focus

Real-world application over theoretical perfection

Clear Communication

Making complex concepts accessible to decision makers
