Who's Teaching

Our instructors work in finance during the day and teach in the evenings because they genuinely enjoy it. You're learning from people who deal with the same challenges you face, which means the advice tends to be more grounded than theoretical.

Classes stay interactive. We cap enrolment so there's space for discussion, and most sessions include breakout exercises where you work through problems in small groups. The approach works better for adult learners who want to apply concepts immediately.

How Classes Work

Start With Real Scenarios

Each session begins with an actual business situation. We look at what went wrong, what decisions were made, and how better financial information might have changed outcomes. No textbook theories without context.

Work Through It Together

You'll spend time in pairs or small groups solving problems with guidance available when needed. The goal is building confidence to handle this stuff independently, not just following instructions.

Apply To Your Situation

Later sessions focus on your specific business or professional context. Bring your numbers, ask about your challenges, and adapt what you're learning to fit your actual circumstances.

Get Ongoing Support

After classes end, you keep access to materials and can reach instructors through our online forum. Questions come up when you're implementing concepts, and we stay available for those moments.

What Past Participants Say

The cashflow course helped me spot problems three months before they would have become serious. I'm not suddenly a finance expert, but I know what numbers to watch now and when to ask for help. That's made a practical difference.

Siobhan Rafferty

Retail business owner, Canberra

I took the business planning programme before launching my consulting practice. Having realistic financial projections from the start meant I could make decisions without constantly second-guessing myself. The weekend workshops were particularly useful for working through my specific situation.
