Essential Finance Skills Workshop
For managers, leaders, owners and directors
Full day, virtual or on-line
All leaders are expected to understand their numbers, regardless of their professional background, the sector or organisation type or size. This workshop equips leaders with the knowledge to make more sense of the numbers to make informed decisions that lead to better business outcomes. This foundational accounting for non-accountants workshop is finance for non-financial managers training done very differently.
What makes this different from every other accounting for non-accountants course?
This is financial literacy training done very differently using the unique Colour Accounting Learning System™.
We make finance fun.
We talk in plain English and not accounting jargon.
We explore underlying concepts and not accounting standards.
We use lots of diagrams and lots of colour.
We work through examples with a unique hands-on 3D activity board.
Group size kept small to create a safe space for asking questions.
You’ll receive group and 1:1 coaching from me.
We put the learning into practice analysing a set of accounts.
Who is this workshop for?
This is:
Accounting for non-accountants
Finance for non-financial managers
Essential finance for board directors
What every business owner should know
Essential finance for managers or leaders
Essential finance for lawyers
Whether you’re a business Owner, Board Director, Leader or Manager financial literacy is now considered an essential skill.
You’re from a non-financial background and you’re given some accounts every month that you’re ultimately accountable for, yet feel ill-equipped to understand them.
You lack the confidence to ask questions.
Leaders and managers from all sectors, all professions, all organisation types and size who have touchpoints with finance:
- are expected to talk to their numbers, or
- have a budget responsibility, or
- just stepped into a new role where they now have whole of organisation financial responsibility.

Who said accounting can’t be fun? It certainly was for me today thanks to the brilliant Debbie Millard and her awesome workshop.
I have felt fear when faced with a balance sheet, the numbers swimming before my eyes as I struggle to make sense of it. Well no more! I have a new sense of confidence, well equipped with the foundational principles that underpin assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses.
The extent of her knowledge is vast, but she tailors the experience for each participants’ needs.
Debbie recently coached us through a financial literacy workshop. She is very personable and created a safe space for us to engage with the material, to question and reinforce learnings. She has this knack of cutting through to the core of what’s going on, supporting you to find your own clarity. Highly recommend Debbie and her workshops.”
