change the world, one spreadhseet at a time
In addition to our stand alone sessions, we run two learning programmes which have been designed specifically to support small charities to be in control of the numbers, to be
intentional with the numbers and to be strategic with the numbers.
Foundation Programme
Explore the wonderful world of day to day small charity finance and build strong finance foundations.
Leadership Programme
Find your financial confidence and learn how to lead through financial uncertainty.
If you're someone who has previously cried at swimming numbers on a budget spreadsheet (ok, it's me, I'm the someone...), I can't recommend Embrace Finance sessions enough.
Sessions are delivered with clarity, realism, honesty and they don't make you feel stupid for not knowing what all the finance jargon means! They are packed with brilliant one-liners like "never let one spreadsheet get in the way of changing the world" and they are accessible to everyone. Even people like me who cry at numbers.
The Foundations programme has grown my financial confidence enormously and has been so helpful. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to understand charity finances. 😊

about the foundation programme
A learning programme of 7 bitesize sessions (5 live online sessions and 2 pre-recorded) exploring how to build an effective finance cycle to give us the financial information needed to build longer term financial resilience.
These sessions have been designed with and for small charities. They are intentionally short and succinct to fit in with busy lives. They are clear and carefully communicated with all jargon explained. They are perfect for building the financial confidence of accidental finance heroes.
