Incisive Financial Understanding

TRAINING TESTIMONIALS

"The first change I made in my £2m turnover media business after the Entrepreneurs course will be worth (even on last years figures) an extra £80k on my bank balance. I was going to bring in a Financial Controller to take the financial management of the business off my hands; now I want them to carry through what I can see we need to do; it's a complete transformation."

"We did the training more than 6 months ago. My wife still carries round extracts of the notes in her handbag."

"We'd been trying to find decent financial training for about 9 months for our IT Services business when I came across the course details and showed them to my co-director. He told me to get on and book it and that we'd get our money back within a week. We'd no idea we'd stumble across something this good."

"Lenders told me I spoke more sense and with more authority about the numbers than most Finance Directors they dealt with." [Scaffolder & Director of Construction Group]

"Having taken over my grandfather's property maintenance company, the non-financial managers course gave me the tools I needed to save the business - we got back to break-even within 2 months of doing the course."

"Just wish I'd done this 6 months ago." (Ops Director recently made redundant)

"I felt elated to truly understand, for the first time, why my cash flow had been under so much pressure and it was crystal-clear what I needed to do to put that right. (Business involved with the 'Supporting People' programme).

"After 20+ years in commercial banking and several years in the business advice community, probably the best financial training I've ever experienced."

"Learned more in one day than in the whole of the finance module of my MBA."

"Even by lunchtime on the first day there were a dozen or more things I was desperate to nip down the office to put in place."

"We're a profitable, rapidly growing HR consultancy and have just completed the Entrepreneurs course. 3 things jump out from the training:

• The course did what it said on the tin; content looked really practical on the website and it was in practice (even more so). Every session gave us new things we can and will apply in our business.
• Initially we were after a 1-day course. In hindsight, having done the 2 days, it was clearly the right choice.
• What we will focus on, going forward, having done the course, is very different from what we were focusing on before it."

"As a General Manager, my thoughts previously centred around cutting costs. What surprised me the most in the non-financial managers course was the number of other ways, both in the Profit & Loss Account and in the Balance Sheet, you could achieve the same result. I've never seen the subject approached this way before; these relationships and linkages were completely new to me."

"Creating a food distribution business from scratch, I felt I didn't have the tools I needed to make this venture work. The training filled the gap and their approach to finance transformed my understanding. A great investment and with a refreshing mix of graphs, scenarios, Q&A and equations it really held my attention."

"It was like someone turned on a light.   Picture-based approach easy to follow and engage with.   Now confident to look at things I would previously have worked round.  I feel less vulnerable - doubt things could be hidden from me in either my own accounts or those of other companies.  The different aspects came together like a jigsaw." 

"Useful views on tired financial diagnoses...will make my life easier."

"This workshop was the most useful 8 hours I have spent of the countless hours I have sat through training sessions.  Colin's financial workshop moved me to re-evaluate my approach to finance, and re-focus my effort. 

"Good, well presented information.  Easy to follow format."

"I wanted much more than just financial principles from this training for my engineering business. I wanted to learn practical things to take the business forward. The course well exceeded my expectations."

"Course excellent.  Very energetic and good pace."

"Demonstrated the old adage 'you don't know what you don't know.'  By 10 o'clock I knew what I didn't know but by 4 o'clock I knew all I needed to know to manage my business.  Thanks.

"Enlightening.  Made me realise significance of changes that previously appeared insignificant."

"Day just flew by.  Excellent."

"Stopped to answer questions and is not judgemental."

"Instructor very good.  Pace [on 2-day course] good (fairly slow).  He took great pains to go over things and to ensure anyone who couldn't follow was taken care of."

"Confident, knowledgeable delivery style."

"Lots of food for thought."

"Presenter clear and easy to understand."

"Brilliant."

"Training worked well [for me] over 2 days."

"Excellent information and slides."

"Presenter excellent and very knowledgeable.  Delivered course well with good materials."
