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.
