Finance Fundamentals: Private Company Program

Finance Fundamentals is a complimentary training program for non-finance executives and managers of Australian private companies. Designed by our CFO Advisory team, the program develops financial fluency from first principles through to practical application: interpreting financial statements and management reporting; navigating bank and lender covenants; appraising investment opportunities and funding options; managing working capital and strengthening governance. Content is grounded throughout in the Australian regulatory framework for private companies — the Corporations Act, ASIC proprietary company thresholds and simplified Australian Accounting Standards for smaller entities. The self-paced, online program spans five modules with over 20 sessions, including key finance and accounting concepts, worked examples, case studies and emerging themes: 1. Establishes the foundational language of finance and Australian regulatory environment for private companies. 2. Develops the ability to interrogate financial statements, performance reporting and lender covenant metrics. 3. Covers budgeting, cash flow and scenario planning through to a board-approved plan. 4. Addresses capital investment appraisal, risk management, supplier and trade credit terms. 5. Connects performance management, governance and emerging themes to the participant's own role. Secure complimentary access to build financial literacy, confidently contribute to financial discussions and strengthen financial stewardship.
