Self-PacedYour Learning Path Questions
Before You Enroll
Most people ask: "Do I need accounting experience?" Short answer—no. We start with fundamentals. Better question: "Am I ready to dedicate 8-12 hours weekly?" Our autumn 2025 intake begins September 15th, and you'll need that time commitment.
During Your Studies
Access to materials is unlimited. Download everything, keep it forever. The financial models? They're yours to use in your actual business. Students often ask about pacing—you can move faster or slower than the suggested timeline.
After Completion
Certificate in hand by early 2026 if you start this autumn. But the real value? You'll have frameworks for every financial decision your business faces. Alumni still email us years later using the break-even calculator.
Ongoing Support
Materials get updated. When tax regulations change or new funding options emerge, you get the revised content. No extra fees. The case study library grew by 23 examples just in 2024.
Who Creates These Materials
Three professionals who've been where you are—building businesses, making financial mistakes, learning the hard way.
Kristoffer Vangstad

Ran a retail business that nearly went under in 2019. Now teaches the cash flow management that could have saved me months of stress. Specializes in turning spreadsheets into decisions.
Lachlan Dempsey
Startup Financial Advisor
Worked with 40+ startups since 2020. Writes the case studies you'll actually read because he knows which details matter and which numbers are just noise. Former accountant who got tired of jargon.

Practical Questions We Hear
Can I access materials on my phone?
Yes, but honestly? The spreadsheets and models work better on a laptop. We've optimized for mobile viewing, but you'll want a proper screen for the interactive exercises. Most students use phones for reading, computers for doing.
What if I need more time than the program allows?
Take it. There's no deadline police. The suggested timeline is 24 weeks, but we've had students finish in 16 and others take 40. Life happens—we get it. Your access doesn't expire.
Are the case studies from Australian businesses?
Every single one. From a Melbourne café that survived COVID to a Perth construction company that didn't (but taught us valuable lessons). We change identifying details but keep the financial realities intact.
Do I get physical materials or just digital?
Everything's digital—easier to update and you can print what you need. Some students bind their own workbooks. Others keep everything on tablets. Whatever works for how you study best.
What's the difference between your templates and free ones online?
Ours come with context. Not just a blank spreadsheet, but explanations of what each number means and why it matters. Plus they're designed for Australian tax and regulatory environment. Small details that save hours of confusion.
