Read your numbers
like a leader, not a technician.
Nagykrisztinainteriordesign Finance Academy helps you turn financial reports into a clear story about risk, resilience and growth — without drowning you in formulas or theory.
- See the early signs of stress or opportunity in your cash flow.
- Hold grounded conversations with your accountant and finance team.
- Decide with confidence when to invest, pause or adjust your plans.
Leadership finance dashboard
A one-page view of your company’s health you’ll learn to build during the program.
- Cash runway vs planned initiatives.
- Margin trends for key product groups.
- Signals from receivables and payables.
Financial problems rarely appear overnight — the warning signs are already in the data.
Many leaders see finance as a black box owned by someone else. We show you how to open that box, understand what you see and act on it in time, while still working hand in hand with your accountant.
Built around real decisions
We start from questions you actually face: “Can we hire now?”, “Is this new client worth the risk?”, “What if sales drop next quarter?” — then connect them to a small set of clear financial indicators.
Cash first, theory second
Cash flow tells the truth faster than any slide deck. You learn to follow the path of money through your business and spot patterns that quietly create stress months before anyone sees it in the bank account.
Designed for Italian context
Case studies reflect Italian payment behaviour, seasonality and local financing options, so examples feel familiar whether you run a family business or a fast-growing tech company.
A structured path from “I don’t trust the numbers” to “I can lead through them”.
The academy is organised into three practical phases. Each phase mixes short explanations with guided work on real examples, so you always know why the numbers matter.
Map your financial story
You identify where money actually flows in your business: which clients, products and habits truly support your stability and where hidden risks live.
Read the signals in time
You learn to translate monthly reports into early warnings and practical questions for your team, instead of reacting only when results are already bad.
Build a review ritual
You design a simple, repeatable leadership review that keeps everyone aligned — finance, operations and commercial teams look at the same picture.
Quick self-check: how financially clear is your leadership?
Choose the statement that feels closest to your reality. The result is not a formal assessment — it simply points to where our training usually has the biggest impact.
Your indicative focus area
Select one of the options on the left to see what topic is usually most useful for leaders in a similar situation.
Leaders in this situation usually benefit first from building a simple financial “map” of their business and learning to read cash flow. We focus on turning monthly reports into 3–5 indicators you follow every month.
Here the priority is often common language. We help you translate technical finance terms into practical questions so that everyone around the table can contribute to the analysis.
You probably already track several metrics. The next step is to align them with decision-making: which signals should trigger a deeper review, and how quickly should you react.
What the learning experience feels like.
The academy combines short, focused lessons with hands-on work using your own numbers (or realistic examples when that’s not possible). You do not have to share anything you consider confidential — we build around what you are comfortable with.
- Live online sessions with clear, visual explanations.
- Interactive exercises guided step by step.
- Reusable templates for dashboards and review meetings.
- Space to ask questions specific to your business.
If you’re a founder or owner…
You probably juggle product, people, clients and finances at the same time. We help you see clearly which clients and products truly sustain your business, and where money quietly leaks out of the system.
- Identify the few numbers you really need to watch every month.
- Understand the impact of payment terms and discounts.
- Prepare for conversations with banks and investors.
If you’re a CEO or general manager…
Your challenge is usually coordination. Finance, sales and operations each bring their own perspective. The training helps you connect these views into one story so everyone understands the trade-offs.
- Translate financial insights into clear priorities for teams.
- Design a monthly review rhythm that supports decisions.
- Spot when growth is stretching your structure too far.
If you’re a functional director…
You may not be responsible for the full P&L, but your decisions shape it. We show you how to link your budget, campaigns or projects to the company’s broader financial picture.
- Understand how your KPIs feed into profitability and cash.
- Build stronger cases for initiatives you want to fund.
- Communicate impact in a way finance colleagues appreciate.
Hands-on labs, not passive watching.
Every module includes a “lab” where you practise on realistic situations: a client who pays late, a new project proposal, a shift in supplier prices or a changing cost structure.
Test how different decisions change your cash runway and margins before you make them in real life.
Simulate a leadership meeting where finance insights are translated into clear next steps instead of abstract discussions.
The focus is always on clarity: what you can decide today based on what you see in the numbers.
Rooted in the Italian business landscape.
Running a company in Italy means navigating seasonal demand, traditional and digital channels, and specific banking relationships. Our examples and exercises reflect this environment rather than generic global scenarios.
- Stories from services, manufacturing, retail and tech companies.
- Attention to payment habits, delays and how to manage them.
- Discussion about practical ways to communicate with Italian banks.
- Respect for family-owned structures and their decision-making dynamics.
“I stopped guessing what the numbers meant.”
“Before the academy I felt that our financial reports were written in another language. Now I can see, in a single page, how my decisions show up in the numbers and what to adjust when something drifts.”
“We discovered that our growth was built on payment terms that quietly squeezed our cash. The program gave us a concrete approach to renegotiate and stabilise the business.”
“I finally have a way to connect campaign results with the P&L. Our conversations with the CFO are less about defending a budget and more about shaping the right investment.”
Stay ahead of financial shifts.
Alongside the core program, you can receive short “signal notes” — concise emails that connect current economic changes with decisions that Italian business leaders are facing right now.
- How changing payment behaviour affects your cash runway.
- Patterns we see in margins across different sectors.
- Questions to ask your accountant before the next board meeting.
