Our Training

Our training programmes are designed to be hands-on, easy to follow, and directly applicable to the day-to-day realities of running a business. Training is offered in-person or online, can be tailored for individuals or groups, and is delivered in formats that suit the pace and capacity of the participants — whether that’s short, focused sessions or a more structured programme over several weeks.

One of our core training offerings is Cashflow Planning and Management, where we help businesses understand, forecast, and control their cash position. We break down complex financial concepts into simple, actionable steps and work alongside business owners to build cashflow plans that are relevant and realistic. Through this training, participants gain the skills to anticipate challenges, confidently manage seasonality, and make proactive decisions that support sustainable growth.

We also offer training in Management Accounting and Business Advisory, focusing on how to use financial information to lead and grow a business. This training helps participants develop the ability to read, interpret, and apply management reports, enabling them to track performance, measure profitability, and understand the financial levers within their business. We empower business owners and managers to ask the right questions, spot trends early, and make decisions based on insight, not guesswork.

Succession Planning is another key area where we support businesses. Our training helps owners prepare for future transitions, whether that’s selling the business, passing it on, or stepping back from day-to-day operations. We provide frameworks and practical tools to help businesses navigate succession smoothly, focusing on leadership development, financial readiness, and long-term value building. Hayley brings a wealth of experience to this training, having supported numerous businesses through these pivotal moments with both strategic and financial guidance.
