What's Coming Up
We've planned several workshops and sessions throughout 2025. Some are in-person, others online. All focus on making financial interpretation less mysterious and more useful for everyday business decisions.
Reading Balance Sheets Without Panic
A half-day workshop in Sydney where we break down balance sheets into components that make sense. You'll work with real company data and learn what numbers actually matter.
- Location: Sydney CBD
- Duration: 4 hours
- Format: Interactive workshop
Cash Flow Analysis for Regular Humans
Cash flow statements confuse most people. This online session walks through how money actually moves through a business and why that matters more than profit sometimes.
- Location: Online
- Duration: 2.5 hours
- Format: Live virtual session
Spotting Financial Red Flags Early
Learn what warning signs to look for when reviewing financial reports. We'll use case studies from Australian companies and discuss what went wrong before it became obvious.
- Location: Melbourne
- Duration: 3 hours
- Format: Case study workshop
Common Problems We Address
Reports That Look Like Gibberish
Most financial reports use terms that make sense to accountants but confuse everyone else. We translate the jargon into plain language and explain why certain numbers get presented in specific ways. You'll leave knowing what EBITDA actually means and when it's useful versus when it's just noise.
Not Sure What Questions to Ask
When reviewing financial data, people often nod along without understanding what they're seeing. Our workshops teach you which questions reveal the real story. Like why asking about working capital changes matters more than focusing on revenue growth alone. Or how to spot when debt levels should raise concerns.
Comparing Companies Feels Impossible
Every business presents their financials differently. We show you how to normalize data so you can make meaningful comparisons. This includes adjusting for industry differences, understanding why some metrics matter in retail but not in manufacturing, and avoiding the traps of surface-level analysis.
Australian Finance Interpretation Summit
Our annual gathering brings together business owners, analysts, and finance professionals who want to improve how they work with financial data. It's scheduled for March 2026 in Brisbane.
What Happens There
Two days of workshops, panel discussions, and practical sessions. Last year we had presentations on interpreting quarterly reports, using ratios effectively, and understanding industry-specific metrics. The informal networking bits were honestly just as valuable.
Who Should Come
Anyone who regularly works with financial information but didn't study accounting. Board members reviewing company performance. Investors trying to understand what they own. Business partners who need to interpret their own numbers better.
What Past Attendees Mention
Henrik Bjornsen
Small Business Owner
The balance sheet workshop finally made sense of what my accountant keeps sending me. I can now spot issues before they become expensive problems. Worth the trip from Newcastle.
Siobhan Flannery
Investment Analyst
I attended the cash flow session expecting basic theory. Instead, we worked through real company examples and learned practical techniques I use every week now. The format was interactive enough to stay engaged.
Workshop Materials
Reference Resources
Each session provides take-home materials you'll actually reference later. Templates, checklists, and examples that work in real situations. Not the usual generic handouts that end up in a drawer.
