Making Sense of Your Numbers
Financial data doesn't need to feel overwhelming. These sessions walk through real scenarios—cash flow patterns, budget variances, the stuff that keeps business owners up at night. I've spent years watching people freeze up when spreadsheets open. That changes here.
Each webinar focuses on one aspect of financial interpretation. Not theory from textbooks, but the actual questions that come up when you're trying to understand what your reports are telling you about your business health.
Cash Flow Reality Check
Why businesses with decent profits still run out of cash. We examine timing issues, payment cycles, and how to spot trouble before it becomes urgent.

Your Presenter
Gareth Thornbury
Spent the first decade of my career making financial reports more complicated than they needed to be. Then I started my own business and realized how useless that complexity was when you're trying to make actual decisions.
Now I translate financial data for business owners who need clarity, not jargon. These webinars grew from conversations with clients who kept asking the same smart questions about their numbers.
Based in Melbourne, working with Australian businesses that range from small retail operations to mid-sized manufacturing. The questions are surprisingly consistent across industries.
How These Sessions Work
Live Sessions
Real-time discussion where you can ask about your specific situation. No pre-recorded lectures—just active conversation.
Actual Examples
We work through real financial reports. Anonymized data from businesses that gave permission to share their learning moments.
Small Groups
Capped at 18 participants so everyone gets time to contribute. These aren't lecture halls—they're working sessions.

I'd been running my café for three years and still felt lost every time I opened financial reports. The cash flow session finally explained why we were profitable on paper but constantly stressed about payments. That single webinar changed how I scheduled supplier orders.
