Teaching Finance Through Real Experience

We've spent years helping Australian businesses adapt to changing financial landscapes. Now we share that expertise through practical education that actually works.

Learning from Someone Who's Been There

Thea started her career during the 2018 banking royal commission. She watched firsthand how businesses struggled to adapt when regulations shifted overnight. That experience shaped everything we teach today.

Over the past seven years, she's guided over 200 Australian businesses through major financial transitions. Her approach isn't theoretical – it's based on real situations where the wrong decision could cost everything.

When she teaches, you're learning from someone who's helped businesses survive market crashes, navigate COVID-19 impacts, and adapt to interest rate changes that caught everyone off guard.

How We Actually Teach This Stuff

Most financial education feels disconnected from reality. We use case studies from actual Australian businesses – including the mistakes we've seen cost people dearly.

Real Case Analysis

Every lesson starts with an actual business situation we've encountered. You learn by analyzing real decisions and their consequences, not hypothetical scenarios.

Practical Application

We give you tools you'll actually use. Each session includes templates, frameworks, and decision trees that we've refined through years of consulting work.

Ongoing Mentorship

Learning doesn't stop after class. We stay connected with our students, offering guidance when they face real-world challenges in their own businesses.

What Makes Our Approach Different

  • 1
    We focus on adaptation skills rather than rigid formulas. Australian markets change quickly, and we teach you how to adjust your approach when conditions shift.
  • 2
    Every instructor has consulting experience. We've all worked directly with businesses facing financial decisions, not just taught about them in classrooms.
  • 3
    Small class sizes mean personalized attention. We limit enrollment so each student gets individual feedback on their specific business situation.
  • 4
    We update curriculum constantly. When new regulations hit or market conditions change, our lessons reflect those changes within weeks, not years.

Active Learning Environment

Why We Started drasnoveli

After seeing too many good businesses fail due to poor financial decisions, we knew there had to be a better way to share practical knowledge.

Traditional financial education teaches theory. We teach survival. When interest rates jumped in 2022, our students knew how to adjust their strategies because we'd already walked them through similar scenarios.

Our next comprehensive program launches in September 2025. We'll cover everything from cash flow management during economic uncertainty to making smart expansion decisions when markets are volatile.
