Understanding Financial Health Beyond the Numbers
Master liquidity and solvency analysis through practical frameworks that actually matter in Australian business
Most financial courses focus on theory. We start with the questions CFOs ask at 2 AM when cash flow looks tight. Our autumn 2025 program walks you through real scenarios where understanding working capital ratios made the difference between restructuring and growth.

How We Approach Financial Statement Analysis
Our methodology evolved from fifteen years of consulting work across mining, retail, and tech sectors. We teach pattern recognition before formulas—because spotting early warning signs matters more than calculating exact ratios.
Cash Position Mapping
Start by tracking cash conversion cycles across different business models. Manufacturing needs 90-day visibility. Services need 30. We teach you to build models that match your sector's reality, not textbook assumptions.
Stress Testing Frameworks
Learn to run scenarios that matter: What if your major client pays 60 days late? What if input costs jump 15%? We cover contingency planning that boards actually want to see.
Debt Structure Assessment
Understanding covenant requirements and refinancing windows helps you spot solvency issues before they become urgent. We break down debt schedules using real Australian loan documents.
What Our Students Track After Completing Training

Perspectives from Finance Professionals
Hear from analysts and controllers who applied these frameworks in their work across different Australian industries
The stress testing module completely changed how I prepare board reports. Instead of just showing current ratios, I now present three scenarios with different revenue assumptions. Makes conversations about working capital needs way more productive.
What I appreciated most was learning to build dashboards that actually get used. The focus on visual communication helped me present complex solvency analysis in ways that operations managers could understand and act on quickly.
