Progressive Learning That Makes Sense

Our programs build on each other. Start with basics, move to practical application, then tackle complex scenarios your business faces every day.

Foundation Modules (Weeks 1-3)

We begin with the fundamentals — cash flow, budgeting, and basic financial statements. Your team learns to read numbers accurately and spot potential issues before they become problems.

Cash Flow Analysis Budget Planning Statement Reading Ratio Analysis

Applied Skills (Weeks 4-7)

Now we dig into real-world applications using your actual business data. Participants work through scenarios they recognize — seasonal fluctuations, supplier payment terms, growth planning decisions.

Forecasting Risk Assessment Investment Analysis Cost Management

Strategic Planning (Weeks 8-10)

The final phase focuses on long-term thinking. Teams learn to model different business scenarios, evaluate major decisions, and build financial frameworks for sustainable growth.

Strategic Modeling Decision Analysis Growth Planning Performance Metrics

Ongoing Support (Months 4-6)

Learning doesn't stop after the formal program ends. We provide quarterly check-ins and access to our resource library as your team applies these skills to new challenges.

Teaching Philosophy That Gets Results

Penelope spent twelve years as a CFO for growing Australian companies before joining our education team. She knows exactly what financial challenges keep business owners awake at night — because she's solved them herself.

Her approach focuses on practical application rather than academic theory. Every concept gets tested against real business situations, and participants leave with tools they can implement immediately.

Case-Based Learning

Work through actual scenarios from Australian businesses. Learn by solving problems similar to what you face every day.

Hands-On Practice

Build financial models using your own business data. Create budgets and forecasts you'll actually use after the course ends.

Peer Discussion

Small groups share challenges and solutions. Often the best insights come from other business owners who've faced similar issues.

Ongoing Mentorship

Get feedback on real decisions you're making. Apply new concepts with guidance from someone who's been there.
