Business Finance Programs That Actually Make Sense

You've been running your business. Managing cash flow, watching margins, making calls on what to spend and when. But financial strategy? That's different. We help business owners think about money the way CFOs do, through practical training built around real decisions you face every week.

Core Program Structure

Finance Skills Built Around Your Business Reality

Most finance courses throw theory at you and hope something sticks. We start with the spreadsheets you already have — P&L statements, cash flow projections, budget trackers — and teach you to read them properly.

It's not about becoming an accountant. It's about understanding what the numbers tell you before you make big moves. Like whether you can afford that new hire, or if expanding to a second location makes mathematical sense right now.

Our six-month program works through scenarios you'll recognise. Pricing decisions. Equipment purchases. Seasonal cash crunches. The financial side of growth that keeps business owners up at night.

Flexible Training for Working Owners

You're busy. We get it. That's why the program is structured around short weekly sessions you can fit between meetings.

Two live online workshops per week, each about 90 minutes. Plus access to recordings if you can't make it. Small groups mean you can ask questions about your specific situation without feeling like you're holding everyone up.

  • Work through real financial scenarios from actual businesses
  • Build analysis skills using spreadsheets and tools you already have
  • Get feedback on your own business numbers in confidential settings
  • Connect with other owners facing similar financial challenges
  • Access materials and templates you'll use long after the program ends

The next cohort starts in about eight months. We keep groups small deliberately because this isn't lecture-based learning. It's working through your actual business finances with guidance.

Financial Literacy Changes How You Run Things

Most business owners learn finance the hard way — by making expensive mistakes and hoping their accountant catches problems before they get serious. There's a better path.

When you understand the financial side properly, you make faster decisions with more confidence. You spot opportunities earlier. You avoid costly missteps. You know which advisor recommendations make sense and which ones don't fit your situation.

This isn't about becoming a numbers person if that's not your strength. It's about having enough financial literacy to run your business smarter. The kind of understanding that pays for itself quickly.
