Turning Numbers Into Narratives
We started seriquavos because we kept watching talented people fumble brilliant ideas the moment they had to explain their budgets. Not because they couldn't crunch numbers—but because they'd never learned how to make those numbers tell a story worth listening to.
Where This Started
Back in 2019, I was sitting in yet another boardroom watching a colleague fumble through a budget presentation. The numbers were solid. The projections made sense. But twenty minutes in, half the room was checking their phones.
That's when it hit me—we spend years learning spreadsheet formulas and financial modeling, but nobody teaches us how to actually present this stuff in a way that keeps people awake, let alone engaged.
So we built seriquavos around a pretty straightforward idea: financial literacy matters, sure. But presentation skills? That's what actually gets your budget approved. We work with professionals across Australia who know their numbers but need help turning data into decisions.
How We Actually Work
Real Scenarios
We don't do hypothetical exercises. Every workshop uses actual budget challenges from participants' workplaces. You work on your problems, not textbook examples.
Practical Frameworks
You'll learn structured methods for organizing financial information—from the initial data dump to the final presentation deck. These frameworks work whether you're presenting to five people or fifty.
Immediate Application
Most participants have a budget presentation scheduled within weeks of our sessions. We make sure what you learn Monday, you can use Thursday.
What Drives Us
Clarity Over Complexity
Financial presentations fail when people try to show everything they know. We teach you how to distill complexity into clarity without losing the essential details.
Audience First
Your CFO needs different information than your project team. Understanding who's in the room changes everything about how you present your budget.
Honest Assessment
We don't sugarcoat feedback. If your slide deck is confusing, we'll tell you—and then show you exactly how to fix it. This isn't about being nice; it's about being useful.
Continuous Improvement
Budget presentation isn't a skill you learn once. Markets shift, stakeholder priorities change, and presentation technology evolves. We keep our content current because outdated techniques don't serve anyone.
Built By People Who've Been There
Our instructors come from finance, project management, and strategic planning backgrounds. They've presented budgets ranging from department-level allocations to multi-million dollar infrastructure projects. What they teach isn't theory—it's what actually worked when their funding was on the line.
We keep our groups deliberately small (twelve participants maximum) because effective budget presentation training requires personalized feedback. You'll work through your actual presentations, get specific input on what's working and what isn't, and leave with a refined approach ready for your next stakeholder meeting.
Ready To Strengthen Your Budget Presentations?
Our next cohort starts in September 2025. We work with finance professionals, project managers, and department heads who need their budget presentations to actually land. If you've got questions about whether this fits your situation, reach out—we're pretty straightforward about who benefits most from what we teach.
