Non Profit Advanced Financial Management Training - Perth - November 2026

Advanced Financial Management Training for Non-profit Organisations

Strong financial management is about more than understanding financial reports. For board and committee members, CEOs and managers, it means being able to use financial information to assess performance, identify emerging risks and make informed decisions that support the organisation's long-term sustainability.

Designed for those who already have a working understanding of non-profit finances, this practical workshop builds on the foundations of financial literacy and takes participants further into financial analysis, forecasting, risk management and strategic financial decision-making.

Participants will explore how to look beyond the figures presented in financial reports, identify trends and warning signs, challenge assumptions and ask the right questions of management. The workshop will also examine how financial strategy, funding, reserves, cash flow and organisational priorities work together to support a financially sustainable organisation.

What You Will Learn

Following the workshop, you will be able to:

• Analyse financial performance and identify key trends, risks and emerging issues

• Use financial ratios and indicators to assess financial health and longer-term sustainability

• Interpret financial forecasts, scenarios and long-term financial plans

What's Involved?

This is a practical, non-technical workshop designed to help participants move beyond simply reading financial reports to actively using financial information in organisational decision-making.

Through practical examples and discussion, participants will develop tools and approaches they can apply within their own organisation to strengthen financial oversight, assess sustainability and make more informed strategic decisions.

Experienced board and committee members, Treasurers, CEOs, Managers and Leaders from non-profit and community organisations who already have a working understanding of financial reports and want to strengthen their financial management and governance skills.
