    Hotel finance training that sticks.

    Formats that fit hotel operations

    Half-day workshop

    One topic, on-site at your hotel, for a focused group of your team.

    Modular programme

    Three sessions of 2.5 hours each, on-site or online, so teams learn without leaving operations for a full day.

    Custom programme

    Topics combined for a pre-opening team, a cluster of hotels or a management company.

    Every workshop includes the slides and practical templates your team can keep using.

    For hospitality institutes and colleges

    I have delivered multi-day programmes for hospitality institutes and speak regularly as a guest lecturer. I can run any of these topics as a guest lecture, a short course or a full module, giving students real hotel finance from someone who has lived it.

    The workshops are built on my four published books.

    Questions hotels ask

    Can you tailor a workshop to our hotel?

    Yes. I use your own reports and examples where you can share them, so your team learns on its own numbers.

    Online or on-site?

    Both. Modular programmes work well online; hands-on topics like balance sheet reviews and menu costing work best on-site.

    How is the fee set?

    A fixed fee per workshop or programme, based on the format and number of participants.
