Learn how Australian businesses actually manage money, plan growth, and make decisions that matter. Our programs start September 2025.
View September ProgramsWe Teach How Money Actually Works in Business
Most people learn finance through textbooks that feel disconnected from reality. Numbers on spreadsheets. Formulas that seem abstract. But when you're running a business or managing a department, you need to understand what those numbers mean for actual decisions.
We started cenavorytos in 2007 because we saw this gap. Business owners would make choices without really understanding their cash position. Managers would approve budgets without seeing the full picture. And the problem wasn't intelligence – it was that nobody had shown them how financial thinking applies to their specific situations.
Our approach is different. We focus on situations you'll actually encounter. How to read a balance sheet when you're considering a supplier relationship. What cash flow projections tell you about timing decisions. How to evaluate whether an investment makes sense for your specific context.
The people who benefit most from our programs are already working in business. They're operations managers who need to understand budgets better. Small business owners who want to make smarter growth decisions. Team leaders preparing for roles with financial responsibility. That's why our next intake starts in September 2025 – giving you time to plan around work commitments.
Programs That Match How You Actually Learn
We've designed our curriculum around the way experienced professionals absorb new information. You're not starting from zero – you already understand business. You just need the financial lens to make better decisions.
- Financial statements that connect to operational decisions
- Cash flow management for real business cycles
- Investment evaluation using practical frameworks
- Budget planning that accounts for uncertainty
- Cost analysis that helps with pricing decisions
- Risk assessment for Australian business contexts
Programs run over 8-12 weeks depending on depth. Evening sessions twice weekly, plus structured reading between sessions. Most participants continue working full-time while they study.
