Finance Education Events That Actually Help
We run workshops and sessions throughout 2025 for people who want to understand business finance without the corporate jargon. Based in Cairns, we cover everything from cashflow basics to strategic planning.
Find What Works For Your Situation
Different businesses need different approaches. We've organized our events to help you figure out which sessions might be most useful based on where you're at right now.
Starting Out Fresh
If you're in the planning stage or just launched, our foundational workshops cover budgeting fundamentals, initial expense tracking, and setting up simple financial systems that won't overwhelm you.
Growing But Struggling
Revenue's coming in but you're not sure where it's going? Our intermediate sessions focus on cashflow analysis, profit margin optimization, and identifying where money gets lost in day-to-day operations.
Ready To Scale
Already profitable and looking to expand? We cover investment strategies, financial forecasting for growth, and how to structure finances when you're thinking about hiring or opening new locations.
Seasonal Businesses
Tourism and seasonal operations face unique challenges. These sessions address managing income fluctuations, building reserves during peak periods, and maintaining stability through slower months.
What's Coming Up Through 2025
We've mapped out sessions from mid-2025 into early 2026. Most workshops run in Cairns with some online options. Registration opens about eight weeks before each event.
Cashflow Basics Workshop
Three-hour intensive covering how money actually moves through your business. We'll work through real examples and you'll leave with a simple tracking system you can start using immediately. Limited to 15 participants so everyone gets individual attention.
Tax Planning Session
Getting ahead of tax season before the end-of-year rush. We break down deductions, explain record-keeping requirements, and show you how to estimate quarterly obligations so nothing's a surprise come June.
Strategic Planning Day
Full-day session focused on setting financial goals for 2026. You'll create a realistic budget, identify growth opportunities, and build contingency plans. Works best if you bring your current numbers to work from.
Investment Fundamentals
For businesses with surplus capital wondering what to do with it. We cover risk assessment, different investment vehicles, and how to balance growth investments with maintaining operational reserves.
Different Ways To Learn
Not everyone learns the same way, and honestly, not every topic works in every format. We've tried to mix things up so there's something that clicks for different people.
Hands-On Workshops
You bring your laptop, we work through your actual numbers. No hypothetical examples—we tackle real challenges from your business. These sessions tend to be messy and practical, which is kind of the point.
Q&A Clinics
Show up with specific questions, leave with specific answers. Less structured than workshops but more focused on individual problems. Good if you're stuck on one particular thing rather than needing broad education.
Case Study Reviews
We walk through anonymized examples from local businesses—what worked, what didn't, and why. Gives you a chance to learn from other people's experiences without having to make those mistakes yourself.
Getting Support That Makes Sense
We know that attending an event is just the start. You'll have questions afterward, run into issues applying concepts, or need clarification on something that seemed clear in the moment but got fuzzy later.
Follow-Up Sessions
Every workshop includes access to a follow-up session about four weeks later. Bring questions, share what you've implemented, get feedback on how it's working. These tend to be smaller and more conversational.
Resource Library
Templates, checklists, and guides we've developed over the years. Nothing fancy—just practical tools that work. Updated based on what participants actually use rather than what looks impressive.
Direct Contact Access
Email support for 90 days after any event. We typically respond within 24 hours on weekdays. Not for ongoing consulting, but definitely for clarifying concepts or troubleshooting specific problems.
