Working Capital Doesn't Have to Be a Mystery
Most Australian businesses struggle because they don't understand what's actually happening with their cash. We help you see the full picture—where your money gets stuck, what's draining resources, and how to fix it before things get tight.

Cash Flow Problems Start Small
You're profitable on paper but can't pay suppliers on time. Or inventory sits around for months eating up space and capital. Sometimes it's customers who take forever to pay.
These aren't random issues. They're symptoms of working capital mismanagement. And they compound quickly if you don't know what to look for.
- Understand the conversion cycle and where delays actually cost you
- Spot early warning signs in your receivables and payables patterns
- Build a realistic cash buffer that matches your business rhythm
- Calculate the real cost of excess stock versus stockouts
Our approach breaks down each component so you can see what's working and what's quietly bleeding cash. Nothing theoretical—just practical analysis you can act on right away.
Three Stages of Financial Clarity
We've designed a structured path that takes you from confusion to confidence. Each stage builds on what you've learned, so nothing feels overwhelming.
Foundation
Start with the basics—what working capital actually means for your business. Learn to read your balance sheet without guessing. Understand why timing matters as much as profit.
Analysis
Dig into your numbers using real scenarios from Australian businesses. Calculate your conversion cycle. Identify which metrics matter most for your industry. Build forecasting skills that work.
Strategy
Create actionable plans based on what you've discovered. Set up systems to monitor cash movement. Make decisions about supplier terms, customer payment policies, and inventory levels with confidence.
Questions We Hear Constantly
Before You Start
How much financial knowledge do I actually need? Will this work for service businesses or just retail? What if my bookkeeping is already a mess?
During the Program
How long does each module take? Can I apply this while running my business? What if my numbers don't look like the examples?
After Completion
How often should I revisit this analysis? When do I need professional help? What happens when my business grows or changes?
About the Approach
I'm Kieran Blackwell, and I've spent years helping Australian businesses untangle their finances. Not with complicated software or expensive consultants—just clear thinking about cash movement.
This program came from watching the same problems appear in different industries. Everyone thinks their situation is unique, but the patterns are remarkably similar. Once you understand those patterns, the solutions become obvious.
Our next intake begins in October 2025. We keep groups small because effective learning needs space for questions and real discussion.
