Build practical business finance skills through hands-on learning. Master cash flow, budgeting, and financial planning with real-world scenarios.
Start Your JourneyWhy This Program Works
Most business owners learn finance through trial and error. That's expensive. This program teaches you practical skills using real business scenarios — not theoretical examples that don't translate to daily operations.
You'll work with actual financial statements, create budgets that reflect real constraints, and practice cash flow management using scenarios based on common business challenges we see across Australian markets.
Each session builds on what you've learned, so by week twelve you'll have systems you can implement immediately in your business.
What You'll Actually Learn
Six focused modules that build practical skills you can use right away. No fluff, no theoretical concepts you'll never use.

Understand where money actually goes in your business. Build systems to predict and manage cash flow gaps before they become problems.
