Finance education that's enjoyable
Workshops, training, and resources to help money feel like a tool for change - not a source of stress.
What this is
This is where we untangle the numbers, the feelings, and the systems — so you can put money to work in your mission.
Workshops, talks, programmes, and resources where we get into how money really works: the practical (budgets, pricing, cashflow), the political (systems, power, access), and the personal (mindset, emotions, the stories you’ve inherited about money).
It’s not school, it’s not a corporate training day, and you won’t be stuck in a chair staring at 200 bullet points. This is finance education you’ll actually want to be part of — and that you can use the very same day.
Who's it for
Finance education is for:
- Founders, freelancers, and creatives who’ve been winging it (and want to stop)
- C-suite leaders without a finance background who need to join the money conversation with confidence
- Not-for-profit directors and trustees who want to resource their impact
- Anyone who’s sick of feeling like money is a closed club they’re not invited to
How it works
Sometimes it’s a live, interactive workshop with me — full of questions, examples, and “ohhh now I get it” moments.
Sometimes it’s a self-paced programme, so you can pause, rewind, and work through it on your own schedule.
Sometimes it’s tools and templates you can use straight away.
Always:
- Accessible language without dumbing down
- Examples that feel like your world, not an MBA case study
- Trauma-informed and neurodivergent-friendly spaces
- A mix of practical action steps and space to explore the “why” behind the numbers
The results
The impact of working together:
- You actually understand your numbers — and what to do with them
- You stop avoiding financial conversations (even the awkward ones)
- You see where your money is fuelling your mission — and where it’s quietly leaking away
- You feel resourced, not restricted, by your financial systems
Why this is different
Because finance isn’t just maths and models — it’s culture, power, history, and human behaviour.
We’ll talk about the stories you’ve been told, the ones you’ve absorbed without realising, and the ones you want to live by.
We make room for the mess — the hyperfocus, the burnout, the hormonal swings, the “I hate spreadsheets” energy — and work with it, not against it.
This isn’t about turning you into an accountant. It’s about giving you the tools, language, and perspective to make money your ally — so your work can go further, last longer, and matter more.
Client testimonials
Check out these sparkling reviews!
Before starting the course, I rated my financial mindset as 3 out of 10 - I was feeling disillusioned and confused. After completing the course, I rated it 10 out of 10c - completely confident and aligned. The course very much exceeded my expectations.
What I hoped to gain was a change of mindset in how I can manage my money and confidence around my earning and money in general. I really enjoyed the journaling and reflections.
The Brilliant Budget is incredible! I loved putting in my figures and getting an idea on breakup revenue and predicted chances in my life. It allowed me to focus on my 5-year goals and how I can achieve them.
Since finishing the course I have been reviewing all my product pricing and also sending out updated pricing sheets to my clients so that I am now being paid for my time properly. I feel much more confident with my business finances and money mindset after taking part in the course.

The session was really varied and covered a lot more than I was expecting. It was great to talk through my existing revenue streams, and how to make them work harder, and help me get a better work-life balance.
What I found particularly helpful was the way that Harriet reframed my existing product and service offerings and how I can create more opportunities from them, as well as simplifying the idea of doing online workshops, which I had been overthinking.
The consultation exceeded my expectations! I feel much more confident in managing my finances after working with Harriet. I thought her prompt follow-up and detailed notes from our session were really comprehensive and helpful. I really like all the additional support and tools that she offers as well.

Harriet's approach is brilliant—she really takes time with me to help me break everything down and see things from a different perspective. Having her expertise, and seeing how everything adds up on a spreadsheet is really useful.
Harriet takes her time to listen to me and help me break everything down in ways that I hadn't thought about. Not only does Harriet help with my finances, but it also gives me more confidence in my services and offering.
Working with Harriet has made me feel much more confident in managing my finances. Her time has been invaluable so far, and I can't wait to learn more.

I really liked how Harriet got me to think about the business and my rates in a different way to usual—thinking about considering everything I do in my business, not just the illustration.
What I found particularly helpful was switching how I see my wedding stationery package from just an illustration service to more of a visual identity and consultation service. Harriet helped me to see that what I offer is more than just doing illustration and therefore I need to price and value accordingly.
Harriet gave me some great insight into ways of looking at things I hadn't thought of, as well as lots of practical advice which I would not have done without speaking to her. I've thought about our session lots since and have hopefully formulated a new plan going forward with my pricing!

Nobody in my family or friendship circle is self-employed so I've been guessing my way through self-employed finances up until now, but an hour with Harriet has massively increased my confidence. I could use the session to ask all the niggling questions I've had in the back of my mind for so long.
The consultation exceeded my expectations. Harriet was so knowledgeable and has a skill for breaking down the most complicated aspects of self-employed finances into easy to understand chunks. Everything was well thought out, from having me complete a form before the session so she had a good grasp of my business before we spoke, to a detailed summary of our discussion written down and sent through to me within a few hours of our meeting. I appreciated the PDF summarising everything we spoke about—it meant I didn't have to worry about taking notes or losing anything within our discussion, and it's great to now have a set of clear actions to take forward.
