Strategies for Business Growth through Financial Consulting
Learn how to translate financial data into clear growth strategies, build resilient cash flow and make confident decisions—even when markets are unpredictable.
- Design a growth roadmap using hard financial data, not intuition alone.
- Learn to talk about numbers with non-financial teams in a simple, actionable way.
- Build dashboards that actually guide decisions for Italian businesses.
Designed in Milan for Italian companies dealing with changing costs, delayed payments and the realities of local regulation.
Built for leaders who carry the growth responsibility
This program is for leaders who cannot delegate financial thinking, even if they have an accountant. You do not need to love spreadsheets, but you must be ready to look at your business without illusions.
Turn monthly reports into concrete decisions on pricing, hiring and investments.
Strengthen your advisory skills and speak the language of growth with your clients.
Align sales, operations and finance around the same measurable targets.
Move from reporting history to shaping the future of the business.
After the program you will be able to:
- Map your growth strategy to a clear financial model with realistic assumptions.
- See early warning signs in cash flow and margins before they become crises.
- Have structured conversations with banks, investors and advisors.
- Communicate trade-offs to your team without hiding behind jargon.
Program structure: 4 weeks, 3 pillars, real decisions
Each week combines short concepts, Italian case studies and hands-on work with your own numbers. You finish the program with a living growth plan, not a stack of slides.

Why this training actually changes how you run your business
Many leaders finish finance courses with more formulas and less clarity. We focus on what you will do differently on Monday morning—how you read reports, challenge assumptions and design growth experiments.
Every concept is followed by a mini-lab where you apply it directly to your company or client.
Examples come from Italian SMEs, family businesses and consulting projects with real constraints.
Limited cohort size so you can ask precise questions about your situation.
Dashboards, checklists and discussion guides you can reuse with your team and clients.
What our participants notice first
- Board and investor meetings become more focused because the story behind the numbers is clear.
- Commercial teams finally understand why some deals are good for growth and others quietly destroy value.
- Owners sleep better because they see risks before they explode into cash problems.
Case study: From chaotic growth to disciplined expansion
A Milan-based services company grew revenue by 40% in two years but constantly ran out of cash. The founder felt successful on paper but exhausted in reality. During the program, we rebuilt their view of the business from the ground up.
- Identified unprofitable contracts that looked impressive in revenue but destroyed margins.
- Redesigned pricing and payment terms to reflect real delivery costs and client risk.
- Implemented a simple three-page growth dashboard used in every monthly meeting.
Twelve months later, revenue growth slowed slightly, but free cash flow more than doubled. The founder now talks about “calm growth” instead of “survival growth”.

Participants come from different industries, but they share one outcome: more clarity and more honest conversations about growth.
“For the first time I can explain our growth plan to the team without slides full of ratios. The tools are simple enough to use every month.”
“I work as a consultant and used to talk mainly about cost cutting. Now my conversations with clients are about opportunities and scenarios, not just savings.”
“Banks treated us as a risky client. After restructuring our reporting and growth story, discussions changed completely.”
