Speaking Numbers That Actually Make Sense
Most business owners freeze when asked to explain their finances. We've spent years watching clients struggle with this — and honestly, it shouldn't be that hard. Our programs help you talk about money with the same confidence you bring to everything else in your business.

Why Financial Communication Matters More Than You Think
I remember sitting across from Daphne last autumn. She'd grown her landscaping business to seven figures but couldn't explain her cash flow to her bank manager. Not because she didn't understand it — she just hadn't practiced translating numbers into plain conversation.
That's the gap we bridge. You already know your business inside out. We help you communicate that knowledge to investors, partners, and teams without sounding like you're reading from a spreadsheet.
Our September 2025 cohort focuses on real scenarios you'll face. Board presentations. Investor pitches. Team meetings where everyone needs to understand the quarterly targets. We use your actual numbers and situations — because generic examples don't cut it when real money's on the line.
Three Skills That Change Everything
Based on what we've seen work across hundreds of Australian businesses since 2019
Narrative Structure
Numbers tell stories, but most people just list figures. We teach you how to build a narrative that makes financial data memorable and persuasive. Works in two-minute elevator pitches or hour-long board meetings.
Audience Translation
Your accountant needs different information than your marketing team. Your investors care about metrics your staff don't. Learning to shift your communication style for each audience saves time and prevents confusion.
Visual Simplification
Complex data becomes clear when you know which charts to use and how to annotate them properly. We cover the practical design choices that make your presentations easier to follow and harder to misinterpret.
Who Teaches This Stuff
Rohan spent fifteen years as a CFO before he started teaching. Astrid came from investor relations at three different startups. They've both sat on the uncomfortable side of financial presentations that went poorly — which is exactly why they're good at helping you avoid the same mistakes.
Background That Actually Matters
Between them, they've presented to venture capital firms, family offices, and traditional bank lenders. They've explained revenue models to confused board members and simplified balance sheets for teams with zero accounting background. That practical experience shapes every part of our curriculum.
What They Focus On
Clear language over jargon. Honest communication about challenges alongside wins. Building confidence through repetition and feedback. They're not interested in making you sound like everyone else — they want you to sound like yourself, just more polished and effective.
Starting Points For Different Situations
We run three different programs because not everyone needs the same thing. Some people just need a workshop to tighten their pitch. Others want ongoing support as they scale. Here's what tends to work for different scenarios:
Single-day intensive for business owners preparing for specific presentations or funding conversations. Next session runs July 2025 in our Bundall location.
Six-week structured program for teams who need to align their financial messaging across departments. Limited to twelve participants to keep feedback quality high.
One-on-one coaching for executives dealing with complex stakeholder communication or sensitive financial situations. Flexible scheduling based on your needs.
