Financial Analysis That Actually Makes Sense

Most business owners dread dealing with their numbers. We get it – spreadsheets can feel overwhelming when you're trying to run everything else.

Our program teaches you how to read your business finances the way they're meant to be read. Not just columns of data, but stories that help you make better calls about where your money should go next.

Starting July 2026, we're running practical workshops here in Orange. Small groups, real scenarios from Australian businesses, and nobody pretending finance has to be complicated.

How We Teach This Stuff

Start With Your Real Numbers

Bring your actual profit and loss statements. We'll work through what they're telling you – and what they're hiding. You'll spot patterns you've been missing for years.

Build Decision Frameworks

Every business faces different choices. Should you hire? Expand? Cut costs? We give you repeatable ways to analyse these questions using your own data.

Practice With Case Studies

We use sanitised examples from regional Australian businesses. Retail shops, service providers, small manufacturers – situations you'll recognise from your own experience.

Financial analysis workshop showing practical application methods

Our workshops focus on practical application – you'll leave with tools you can use the same week, not theoretical knowledge that sits on a shelf.

What You'll Learn Over Six Months

Format Details

Two Saturday sessions per month, 9am to 1pm. We meet at our Orange office with plenty of coffee and actual lunch.

Between sessions, you'll have homework – applying what we covered to your own business. Bring questions to the next session.

Maximum twelve participants. We cap it there because once groups get bigger, the quality of discussion drops off.
