How We Approach Finance Training
Most courses dump formulas on you. We start with the problems you're actually facing.
Context First
We begin with what's happening in your business. Cash flow issues? Pricing confusion? Budget planning chaos? That's where we start, not with abstract concepts.
Build From There
Once we understand your situation, we introduce tools that solve it. You'll see why each technique matters before you learn how to apply it.
Practice on Real Data
Bring your own numbers. Work with scenarios that mirror your industry. By the end, you've already applied everything to your actual business.
What You'll Work Through
The program runs over six months starting September 2025. Each module builds on the last, but you can adjust pacing if needed.
Financial Statements That Make Sense
Stop staring at balance sheets wondering what they mean. You'll learn to read financial statements like a conversation about your business health. We cover what each line actually tells you and which numbers demand attention.
Cash Flow Management
This is where most businesses struggle. We'll map out your cash cycle, identify pressure points, and build systems that prevent those "where did the money go?" moments. You'll forecast with confidence.
Pricing and Profitability
Are you charging enough? Probably not. We'll calculate your real costs, understand margin requirements, and price services in ways that support growth instead of just covering expenses.
Budgeting and Planning
Create budgets you'll actually use. Not complicated spreadsheets that sit ignored. We focus on practical planning tools that help you make decisions throughout the year.
Who This Works For
This isn't for accountants. It's for people running businesses who need to understand the financial side better.
Maybe you've hired a bookkeeper but still feel lost when reviewing reports. Or you're making decisions without really knowing if the numbers support them.
We've worked with cafe owners, consultants, trades businesses, and small retailers across New South Wales. The principles apply regardless of your industry.
- Business owners who want financial clarity
- Managers responsible for budget decisions
- Anyone preparing for growth or major purchases
- People tired of feeling confused by their own numbers
Learning Format That Fits
Sessions run Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 6:30 to 8:30 PM Australian Eastern Time. Can't make it live? Everything's recorded.
Live Online Sessions
Join from wherever you work. Ask questions in real time. Work through examples together. The format keeps things interactive without requiring you to commute.
Self-Paced Components
Between sessions, you'll work through exercises using your own data. Apply concepts immediately. Come to the next session with questions about your specific situation.
Evita Haraldsen
Lead Instructor
I spent fifteen years doing financial consulting for SMEs before switching to education. Honestly, I got tired of explaining the same concepts repeatedly in one-off meetings. Teaching lets me actually help people understand this stuff.
My background's in operational finance, not investment banking. I care about helping you run your business better, not impressing you with jargon.
