Financial Thinking for Business Owners
Most business owners know their product inside out. But when it comes to reading financial statements or understanding cash flow patterns, things get murky fast.
This intensive program takes you through real business scenarios we've encountered over the past fifteen years. You'll work with actual financial data, make decisions under pressure, and see how those choices play out.
We're starting our next cohort in October 2025. Six weeks, one evening per week, plus access to our online resources.

How We Teach vs. Traditional Approaches
Our method focuses on active problem-solving rather than passive lectures. Here's what makes our approach different from standard finance courses.

What Makes This Work
Scenario-Based Learning
Each session presents a business challenge. You analyze the financials, propose solutions, then see what actually happened. No theoretical fluff.
Small Group Format
We cap classes at twelve participants. Everyone contributes. You'll hear perspectives from different industries and business stages.
Practical Templates
Walk away with spreadsheets and frameworks you can use immediately. Customizable to your business type and size.
Follow-Up Access
After the program ends, you get three months of office hours. Bring real questions about your own finances.
This isn't about becoming an accountant. It's about gaining confidence when reviewing your financial position and making decisions with a clearer picture of your business health.
Past participants include cafe owners, consultants, manufacturers, and service providers. Different industries, same fundamental challenges with understanding cash flow and profitability.
