Case Study Analysis
Break down real business situations to understand what the numbers reveal and what they hide
Building Financial Foundations Through Real Experience
We don't teach from textbooks. Our approach to financial education grew from watching countless entrepreneurs struggle with the same challenges—and finding what actually works in the real world.
Our Foundation
Context-First Learning That Sticks
Most financial courses dump information and hope something sticks. We start with your actual business situation—the numbers you're already looking at, the decisions keeping you up at night.
Every concept gets introduced when you need it, not because it's next in the curriculum. You learn cash flow analysis when you're facing a supplier payment decision. You understand profit margins when you're pricing a new service.
- Start with real business scenarios from your own operation
- Build understanding through immediate application
- Connect financial concepts to decisions you're already making
- Progress at a pace that matches your business complexity
Three Pillars That Shape Everything
These aren't just teaching principles. They're the framework that emerged from years of watching what actually helps entrepreneurs make better financial decisions.
01
Practical Over Perfect
We care more about giving you tools you'll actually use than teaching you every accounting standard that exists. The goal isn't to make you a qualified accountant—it's to help you understand your numbers well enough to make confident choices.
02
Pattern Recognition
Financial literacy isn't about memorizing formulas. It's about recognizing patterns in your business data. We help you see the signals that matter—the ones that tell you when to invest, when to pull back, when something needs attention.
03
Incremental Mastery
Nobody becomes financially confident overnight. We build your capability in layers—starting simple, adding complexity only when you're ready. Each new concept builds on something you've already used successfully.
How It Works
Learning Through Your Actual Numbers
Theory matters, but context matters more. Our sessions use anonymized versions of real business scenarios—often drawn from situations our participants are currently navigating.
You'll work with profit and loss statements that look like yours, cash flow challenges similar to what you're facing, pricing decisions that mirror your market. This isn't simulation—it's preparation for choices you'll make next week.
Decision Frameworks
Build mental models you can apply when facing financial choices in your business
Pattern Libraries
Develop recognition skills for common financial signals and warning signs

Lachlan Pemberton
Founder & Lead Educator
I spent fifteen years building and selling three businesses before I really understood my own financials. Now I help others skip that learning curve—or at least shorten it significantly. The goal isn't to turn you into an accountant. It's to help you read the story your numbers are telling.
Rhys Dunleavy
Workshop Facilitator
The entrepreneurs I work with don't need more complexity—they need clarity. My background in scaling businesses taught me that financial confidence comes from understanding a few key metrics deeply, not from knowing everything superficially. That's what we focus on here.
