Not your regular course.

 

We created this course to be one that we'd actually want to do. We were sick of courses with no practical elements where you couldn't get stuck in to how things would actually work in the real world. 

This one is designed so that you get not only the fundamentals you need to know about, but you also then get to put these into practice in a 'real-world' project. 

Oh! And it's completely free!

Real-World FinOps

THE PRACTICAL SKILLS YOU ACTUALLY NEED.

 

Put the fundamentals into practice with Causal.

You'll build out a forecast and model for our 'startup' Clarity LTD:

  • Set-up a headcount and cost forecast in Causal
  • Compare to actuals and reforecast
  • Add in customer and revenue to build a P&L model
  • Create what-if scenarios to bring your model to life

You'll be introduced to Clarity LTD - our 'real-world' startup - to solve their real startup problems using real startup software. Add it to Your Library and complete the project using Causal.

Project Details.

The 'Real-world FinOps' project will take you through a key issue all scale-ups face.

 How do you build a financial model for your business?

As you look to scale your business, you're going to need to try and forecast what will happen in the future. Every rapidly-scaling business will need to do this to plan ahead, comfort investors and make decisions. Creating a flexible, scenario-based forecast, will allow you to stay on top of inevitable changes and keep one step ahead.

This project will take you through how to practically build out a cost forecast and model out revenue so you can go ahead and do this in the real-world.

First, you'll be considering Clarity LTD's headcount plan and cost drivers to create a budget.

Then, you'll look at comparing that with actuals and re-forecasting to improve your forecast.

Finally, you'll bring it all together with a revenue forecast to model out Clarity LTD's P&L.

Give it a go, it's FREE!

We know what it's like.

Working in a startup or small business has so many upsides - and we are BIG fans - but it can often feel like there's no one you can turn to, to answer your questions, give you guidance or help you navigate a thorny issue.

That's why we created the FinOps Forum. It's a free, slack community where you can find out more about finance, operations, start-ups, scale-ups and technology.

Topics such as: hiring, the best tech tools, scaling advice, investment questions, tricky tax topics... it's all there.

And we'd love you to be a part of it too 🤩.

ACCOUNTING TRAINING SUCKS...

So we're changing that.

 

Finance and accounting training should give you the skills you need for the future. It should show you how to solve real problems you will encounter everyday. It should show you how to use real technology.

We think that together, we can build a learning community that can do much better.

But we can't do it alone.

Years of Academy Training Wasted!

Our beta testers thought it was pretty cool.

It was brilliant to meet like-minded people. I now think how about how I can automate everything in my day-to-day 🦾

Inga - Startup Operations Guru

Loved it. I'd always wanted to learn some coding but could never get stuck in. I've now upgraded to using SQL everywhere I can :)
