What Get Financially Fit feels like

Learning to manage your money is a key skill for a business owner and in this program it’s practical and applicable to your business straight away. The lessons are simple and powerful, and you might be suprised by how much you learn and create in just ten weeks. The small group is welcoming, uplifting and safe, and you’ll love hearing from other small business owners who have similar challenges and desires as you. The curriculum suits a variety of learning styles and you can do the whole program on your own or join the live Q&A sessions to support your own learning.

Who am I to teach you about finances, anyway?

I’m Fi Johnston, and I’m a Chartered Accountant and advocate for purpose-led business. My craft has been honed over more than 20 years working exactly where I always wanted to be: small business. I could tell you that I know exactly how to map out your business so that it’s profitable and impactful. Or I could explain that I’m a gentle, caring soul who loves teaching what I know. But what I really want you to know is that I am a communicator. My real skill lies in turning complex numbers guff into words and tools that make sense. I’m proud of how much my clients and students have learned, and how easily they’ve applied that to their businesses.

Shanny Fitzgerald, of Wild Spark Copy

Fi knows her ass from her BAS.

This superstar is one helluva’ game changer. I knew that this was going to be one of the most valuable investments I'd ever make in my business - and the experience lived up to my expectations. Fi knows her BAS from her ass, and helps you understand the motivation behind your financial habits. Her ability to explain difficult financial concepts in easy to understand language is mind-blowing. Fi is sharing her talent and expertise with the world to make it a better place. If you want a finance education that is clear, jargon-free, and purpose-led, you can’t go past this. You won’t regret teaming up with this powerhouse.

This is how my members felt after the program

My members felt so much more confident, in control and energised about their businesses after doing this program. Managing your money is an essential skill for a business owner, and poor cash flow is the biggest cause of business failure. Learning to manage YOUR money will completely change the way your business operates. Putting you in the drivers seat will allow you to make more profit, have money in the bank when you need it and feel fecking great.

Cat Townsend, of The Good Alliance

I've worked with quite a few coaches over my years in business, but I can honestly say that Fiona has had the most profound impact in the shortest amount of time. In one session she identified changes in my business that doubled our revenue AND halved my workload. But to focus only on the results, wouldn't tell the whole story. Without the compassion and genuine interest that Fiona showed in my business, I would never have found the courage or determination to make the changes required. Working with Fiona has been the best investment I've made in my business.
