Make the complex Simple

Finance can be confusing because it is filled with jargon and numbers. To simplify things, we employ visual techniques to show how finance works. We remove as much jargon as possible and use everyday language so that it can be readily understood.

Turn theoretical into Practical

There is a wealth of content available for you to watch and read to learn about the theory. While you may gain some valuable insights, we prioritise outcomes.

Achieving these outcomes requires action. By emphasising practical application, we help you connect abstract financial concepts to real-world impacts, enabling you to make informed decisions.

Customise to be Relevant

The most important financial decisions are those that impact you directly. Since your financial situation is unique, sifting through generic information can be time-consuming and unhelpful. That’s why we believe in customising and tailoring content to ensure it is relevant and meaningful to you.

Background
Financial Training Australia was established in 2011 by Cherry Birch, who introduced a new approach to finance training in Australia. This approach demystifies finance, engages participants, and provides practical, hands-on experience that can be applied in the workplace. It uses colour and graphics to visualise finance, helping participants quickly grasp concepts and read financial statements.
Since then, we have broadened our horizons beyond just training. Our services now include consulting and business transformation, tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. By embracing our core philosophy of making finance simple, practical, and relevant, we ensure that our clients not only understand financial concepts but also feel confident in applying them to their personal and professional lives.
