Not a numbers person?

As a Business Owner, Leader or Manager who has some financial responsibility do you:

Feel a bit awkward and embarrassed to admit that you are not a numbers person?
Lack the confidence to ask questions about the numbers?
Dread the Board or your Manager asking you something about the accounts?
Usually defer anything to do with accounts until the last minute, or
Simply accept what your accountant or bookkeeper tells you?

Strong financial management is at the heart of any successful business

Understanding your numbers empowers you to make informed decisions leading to better business outcomes. You will minimise the rude shocks and be able to be pro-active in responding to what the numbers are telling you.

If you are struggling with understanding or managing the business finances, and
This lack of understanding is impacting your confidence in your role, and
Impacting your ability to make informed decisions and compromising your business results

This workshop is for you. Let me help you take the mystery out of the numbers so you can run a better business.

Who is this workshop for?

For those that have touchpoints with the financial side of the business, are from a non-financial background and think of themselves as "not a numbers person".

What can I expect?

This is a very interactive, engaging and fun workshop. A small and intimate group, creating a safe space to ask questions.

Feel a little bit vulnerable because they don’t know what all the accounting terms mean; and
Don’t know the questions to ask; and are
Visual and hands-on learners

What will I walk away with?

More confidence around the numbers side of the business;
Understand what accounting concepts and terms mean in plain english;
