Business Finance Skills That Actually Matter
Practical training for Australian business owners who want to understand their numbers
Running a business in Australia means dealing with complex financial decisions every day. You need to understand cash flow, manage growth without running out of money, and make sense of what your accountant tells you.
Our programs focus on real situations you'll face. Not theory from textbooks, but the kind of financial literacy that helps you sleep better at night.
Talk About Your NeedsQuestions We Hear Most Often
Business owners contact us when they're stuck. Here's what usually brings them in, and what we do about it.
Cash flow looks fine but the account's empty
Profitable on paper doesn't mean money in the bank. We walk through your actual cash cycle and show you where things get stuck between invoices and payments.
Cash Flow FundamentalsGrowing too fast without a financial buffer
More sales can drain resources quickly. Our growth planning sessions help you understand what expansion actually costs before you commit.
Growth Planning WorkshopReports from the accountant make no sense
Balance sheets and P&L statements feel like a foreign language until someone explains what matters for your specific business. That's where we start.

Who Runs These Sessions
Both of us have worked with hundreds of Australian businesses. We've seen what works and what doesn't, and we're pretty direct about both.
Roland Merrick
Cash Flow Specialist
Spent twelve years helping businesses in Perth and regional WA fix their cash problems. Started because too many good companies were folding despite being profitable on paper. Now I teach owners how to see what's actually happening with their money.
Victor Landry
Growth Finance Advisor
Worked with manufacturing and service businesses across the south west for fifteen years. Watched plenty of companies grow too fast and collapse. These days I focus on teaching sustainable expansion and realistic planning that doesn't require a finance degree.
