We're not your typical financial consultants. Our team brings real-world experience from budget wars in both public and private sectors across Australia.
Every member of our team has sat across the table from tough negotiators. We've worked through late-night budget sessions, defended proposals to skeptical boards, and found creative solutions when the numbers didn't add up.
That's the difference. We're not teaching from textbooks. We're sharing what actually worked when the pressure was on and the stakes were real.
Our approach comes from years of learning what makes decision-makers say yes—and what makes them walk away. We've made mistakes, learned from them, and now we help others skip those painful lessons.
Spent twelve years managing procurement negotiations for a major Australian health network. Brennan knows how to present numbers that make CFOs pause and reconsider. His students consistently report breakthroughs in stakeholder buy-in.
Former finance director who turned around three struggling departments through better negotiation frameworks. Siobhan specializes in translating complex financial concepts into compelling arguments that resonate with non-finance decision-makers.
Worked in corporate treasury for eight years before moving into education. Elowen brings a practical understanding of how internal politics affect budget decisions. She teaches the human side of financial negotiations that spreadsheets never capture.
Our programs start in September 2025 because we want participants who are serious about changing how they handle budget conversations. This isn't about quick fixes.
Each module is built from actual negotiation scenarios we've navigated. You'll work through case studies pulled from real Australian businesses, government departments, and non-profits. The challenges are authentic because they happened to us or our clients.
We focus on building confidence through practice. You'll present budgets to the group, defend your proposals, and handle tough questions—all in a supportive environment where making mistakes is part of learning.
Our autumn 2025 program opens for registration in July. Spots are limited because we keep cohorts small—better conversations happen that way.
