Core Financial Skills That Matter
Our September 2025 intake focuses on the financial capabilities you need when running your own venture. Not theory for the sake of it — actual skills you'll use when managing cash flow, making investment decisions, or planning for growth.
- Cash flow forecasting and working capital management
- Reading financial statements without an accounting degree
- Pricing strategies that reflect real costs and market position
- Business structure decisions and their financial implications
- Managing debt, equity, and funding options realistically
- Tax planning basics that keep you compliant and smart
How We Actually Teach This
We're not big on lectures or memorizing formulas. Our approach puts you in realistic situations where financial decisions have consequences — then we work through them together.
Case-Based Learning
Work through real business scenarios from Australian startups and small businesses. See what worked, what didn't, and why financial decisions mattered.
Hands-On Tools
Build your own financial models and forecasts. No spreadsheet wizardry required — just practical templates you can adapt to your situation.
Small Group Format
Maximum 14 participants per cohort. Everyone gets individual attention and feedback on their specific business challenges.
Who's Teaching This Program
Two practitioners who've made financial mistakes, learned from them, and now help others avoid the same pitfalls.
Henrik Solberg
Spent twelve years helping small businesses stay afloat through cash flow planning and restructuring. Henrik's seen what happens when founders ignore the numbers — and knows how to explain financial concepts without the jargon overload.
Callista Drummond
Built and sold two businesses before turning thirty. Callista knows what it feels like to make payroll when cash is tight and how to evaluate growth opportunities when resources are limited. She teaches from experience, not textbooks.
