Six-Month Financial Modeling Program
Learn to build proper financial models for Australian businesses. Starting October 2025, we're running a structured program for people who want real skills, not shortcuts.
This isn't about getting rich or landing dream jobs. It's about understanding numbers well enough to make better decisions.
Real Projects, Actual Business Cases
We spend twenty-four weeks working through financial models that Australian SMEs actually use. Revenue forecasts for retail. Cash flow planning for service businesses. Scenario analysis when things get unpredictable.
Most weeks include two live sessions where we build models together and one review where you get feedback on your work. Between sessions, you're expected to practice. No one learns this stuff by watching videos.
You'll make mistakes. That's the point. Better to mess up a practice model now than a real one later.

What You'll Actually Cover
Six modules spread across six months. Each one builds on what came before, so missing chunks means you'll struggle later.
Spreadsheet Fundamentals
Most people think they know Excel. Then they try building a three-statement model and realize they've been using maybe 15% of what's possible.
Revenue Forecasting
How do you predict what a business will make next year? There's no magic formula, but there are frameworks that work better than guessing.
Cost Structures
Fixed costs, variable costs, semi-variable costs that no one talks about until they wreck your forecast. We look at all of them.
Cash Flow Analysis
Profit doesn't pay the bills. Cash does. This module is about understanding timing and what happens when revenue doesn't show up on schedule.
Scenario Planning
Best case, worst case, and the dozen realistic cases in between. Building models that account for uncertainty without becoming useless.
Presentation Skills
A brilliant model that no one understands is worthless. Final month focuses on explaining your work to people who don't speak spreadsheet.
Who Runs This Program
Two practitioners who've spent years building financial models for Australian businesses. They're not celebrities and they don't do motivational speeches.
Sienna Kearney
Spent eleven years building models for manufacturing firms around Geelong before switching to teaching. Still consults part-time, which keeps the curriculum grounded in what actually matters.
Margot Blackwell
Handles the retail and hospitality modules. Previously worked with cafes and restaurants trying to survive on thin margins. Knows exactly where forecasts fall apart in service businesses.
