Expert coaching and courses for business owners

Finance for Business Owners

Short online course for business owners who are terrified of their numbers

Get your head around those figures with three webinars covering:

– Basic bookkeeping

This doesn’t cover double entry but instead gives a quick explanation of what the main cloud accounting software can do for you and your business.

– Understanding your accounts

Taking the fear out of the numbers and helping you understand where to focus your attention.

– Everything you wanted to ask your accountant but were afraid to ask

This means half a day’s training for the bargain price of £30 including VAT.

The webinars can be watched in any order and provide a great foundation if you are considering joining us for the Growing by Numbers online course.

Growing by Numbers Online – £800

We’ve taken Growing by Numbers online giving you the opportunity to explore, interactively, the subject of building and growing your small business in the right way, making best use of the numbers and putting the systems in place to help you take a step back and live your life too.
This is no quick fix. It’s a 10 hour programme, filled to the brim with advice and guidance straight from someone who has been right where you are now.

We’ll start with your business motivations and personal goals. Then we’ll look at systems and software, marketing to your ideal clients both on and offline, before learning to grapple your numbers, price profitably and spend wisely. Throughout we will show you which numbers to focus on to make sure that you will achieve those goals

The course is delivered via 10 webinars, each with their own action list, allowing you plenty of time to digest your learnings and begin to put them into practice before moving on. At the end of the course you will also be invited to an individual coaching session to give you personalised support in applying your learnings in your own business.

Do you feel as though you’re working too many hours for too little profit?

It doesn’t matter how many business books you read; nothing comes close to having a coach in your corner. Someone to support you, to act as a sounding board and to give you the encouragement you need to stay on track and accountable.

Whether you have one employee or 20, you and your business will benefit from regular coaching with someone who has been there and built a successful company themselves. We could help you view your business more objectively, identify areas of improvement and prioritise your activities.

And naturally, we can give you that little push to make sure you achieve everything you set out to do, too.

Not just any old coach, Della Hudson has founded three successful businesses and sold the first one for 32% above the average price. As well as being a chartered accountant she is also a qualified coach and mentor so you benefit from both experience and theory.

We will use a number of coaching techniques:
• Listening to learn about your businesses and your challenges
• Questioning you to get to the root of the issue
• Advising you based on theory and 30+ years’ experience working with other businesses.
• Mentoring you based on personal experience as an accountant and as a business owner
• Holding you accountable to implement the changes that you have agreed

Monthly coaching sessions are by telephone (or Zoom) and will include:
• Accountability check in from the last call
• Feedback on changes implemented
• Core focus will be on new issues arising or from the ongoing list
• Agreement of action list before the next call
These sessions will last for approximately 1 hour

If you want to make changes more quickly in your business then weekly or fortnightly calls can also be arranged.

Individual coaching provides the best value because we focus on YOUR issues and find solutions that work in YOUR business.

➡ We have limited space for individual coaching so please book a call to be added to the waiting list

Coaching is priced at £750 per session or £630 per month for 12 sessions. (Grants are often available and we will advise you of any that we know of)
