Empowering Staff Through Financial Literacy
Tailored Mentoring and Consulting for Creative Teams
In creative organisations, your people are your greatest asset. When they’re confident, informed, and aligned — amazing things happen. But one area that’s often overlooked in professional development? Financial literacy.
That’s where I come in.
As a financial literacy consultant with over 20 years’ experience in arts industry ticketing, financial education, and creative leadership, I work with organisations to empower their staff teams with the tools, language, and confidence to engage with money — clearly and creatively.
Why Financial Literacy Matters for Staff Teams
Financial literacy isn't just for finance departments. It's for everyone — from marketing to programming, development to operations. When your team understands how money moves through the organisation, they make better decisions, collaborate more effectively, and contribute more strategically.
Whether it's understanding budgets, reading financial reports, or pricing projects sustainably, financial education helps your staff:
Feel more confident in financial conversations
Understand how their work impacts revenue and costs
Engage more deeply with organisational strategy
Develop both professionally and personally
Offer Financial Education as a Staff Benefit
Forward-thinking organisations are increasingly offering financial coaching and education as a staff development perk — and the creative industries should be no exception.
Whether you’re a theatre company, museum, arts centre, or cultural institution, supporting your team’s financial literacy builds not just stronger individuals, but a more resilient organisation.
This is not one-size-fits-all. Together, we’ll design a bespoke mentoring and coaching program tailored to the size, structure, and goals of your team.
What This Consulting Work Can Cover:
Understanding your organisation’s financial structure and money story
Building confidence to read and interpret budgets and reports
Personal financial literacy education
Financial decision-making in programming, marketing, and fundraising
Cost control without compromising creativity
Sustainable pricing and earned income models
Financial implications of audience engagement and marketing strategies
Empowering staff to link their work to financial outcomes
Developing a common financial language across departments
Flexible, Confidential, and Built Around Your Team
Mentoring and consulting can be delivered:
One-on-one with key staff members
In small teams or departments
As part of a wider staff development initiative
In person or online, one-off sessions or ongoing programs
All programs are highly customised and designed with sensitivity, especially for staff who may feel intimidated by finance. This work is practical, empowering, and judgment-free.
Your Team Deserves to Feel Financially Confident
Investing in your team’s financial literacy shows them that you care about their growth — both inside and outside the organisation.
Let’s chat about how a tailored financial literacy program could benefit your staff.
Offer it as part of your professional development strategy, your wellbeing offering, or as a stand-alone initiative to support strategic alignment and organisational resilience.
Because when your people understand the numbers, they help shape the future — not just follow it.
