Practitioner guides to private markets and real estate.

Julian R. Sterling writes practical career guides for finance and investment professionals. The work focuses on translating complex institutional processes into clear frameworks, worked examples, and tools that readers can apply in interviews and on the job.

What the books have in common

Each one takes a single role or a single process and follows it end to end: the legal economics first, then the cash, then the evidence that has to reconcile. The examples are worked in full and the arithmetic is shown rather than asserted — every fund, company and transaction in them is fictional, and the figures are chosen so that a reader can rebuild them.

Several titles come with free companion workbooks — live models, empty templates and checklists, with every published figure reproduced in a formula. They need no account and no email address. They are all listed on the companion files page.
