CICL Finance & Accounting training helps finance teams and non-finance leaders read numbers clearly, ask better questions and make disciplined decisions about cost, growth and risk.
We support organisations that want their finance function—and everyone who uses its output—to be more confident, analytical and forward-looking, not just compliant.
Accountants, analysts and finance officers who must produce accurate, insightful and timely financial information.
Non-finance leaders who own budgets, approve spend and need to interpret numbers when steering their units.
Senior leaders and board members who require clearer commentary and more confident discussion around financial performance.
Organisations moving from basic bookkeeping to structured budgeting, forecasting and performance reporting.
We focus on the practical gaps that limit the impact of your finance function—from weak financial literacy to fragmented reporting and poor budgeting discipline.
Managers and staff who avoid the numbers, are unsure how to read financial statements or confuse cash, profit and revenue.
Many versions of the truth across spreadsheets, with fragile formulas and little documentation or standardisation.
Budgets that are copied from last year, limited scenario planning and poor visibility on future cash and profitability.
Finance teams consumed by statutory deadlines, with little time to interpret numbers or support strategic decisions.
We design hands-on programmes around your reports, systems and decisions—so participants practise on the kind of numbers they see every month.

Yes. We frequently run separate or combined tracks for finance teams, business managers and executives—ensuring that each group gets the right depth, examples and exercises.
For most hands-on programmes, yes. We work primarily with Excel or similar tools so that participants can practise calculations and scenarios directly during sessions.
We can align examples and templates to your chart of accounts, reporting structure and finance systems, so that learning maps easily onto day-to-day work.
Short bootcamps may run for 1–3 days, while academies and cohort journeys can run for several weeks or months. We adjust based on your objectives, audience and calendar constraints.
Yes. Participants who complete agreed requirements receive certificates of participation, and for longer academies we can design completion criteria or assessment where appropriate.
We start with a discovery conversation about your goals, current finance capabilities and constraints. Based on that, we propose a tailored programme outline and commercial terms for your review.
We treat all financial, commercial and operational information shared for training purposes as confidential. Only authorised CICL consultants working on your engagement can access such data.
Where we use real financial reports or models, we encourage anonymised or redacted versions, and we work within your organisation’s data protection and confidentiality guidelines.
Training materials and example data sets are stored securely for the duration of the engagement and agreed follow-up, then removed from our active systems, unless otherwise agreed with you.
Our goal is to create a safe learning environment where teams can engage honestly with numbers, without compromising sensitive financial information.
Let’s build a Finance & Accounting programme that supports your strategy, strengthens control and improves decision-making.
