Trusted by our profession
As well as our own programmes, we’ve also designed and delivered bespoke finance business partner training and leadership development all over the World on behalf of ICAEW in the UK and CAANZ in Australia and New Zealand for 7 years and counting.
Oh and by the way, we are all members of either ICAEW, CAANZ or CIMA ourselves.
We’ve seen both sides
We don’t run finance courses. Your people are good enough accountants. We all work from direct experience, not from text-books.
And we don’t give you theories, just simple, practical and easy to use tools that work in all situations and work fast!
We’ve all been senior finance leaders, but our unique approach to finance business partner training comes from our direct experience leading sales and marketing teams and being partnered by finance.
A global family company
We work globally with big companies, but you’re working with a family company.
Shelly and Andy began in the UK, followed by Iain. After many years of working alone delivering finance business partner training on different sides of the World, our shared passion brought us together.
Since then we’ve become business partners and friends. We are proud of what we do, and we never forget why we are doing it.

Andy is a great communicator and provides a broader perspective on how finance interacts with different stakeholders and how finance could interact differently with the many business partners. I highly recommend him and his team to develop our broad finance teams.

I have worked with Andy and the team twice and have been very impressed with his ability to deliver relevant content in a way that is engaging from start to finish. Andy’s unique sales and finance background really brings something to the table and I would thoroughly recommend his expertise to develop any business partnering capability.

Andy has taken me & our team on a journey of self learning, enabling a transformation which has resulted in turning dull, low value information into insight and influence. The learning has opened our eyes to a different way of communication and we are excited to continue this journey and see what we can achieve – thanks Andy!
