Finance education for female founders

I saw so many brilliant ideas, especially from women, get lost because they couldn’t translate their vision into the language investors speak. I’m here to change that.

Success Stories

Build confidence like these Female founders:

Candice is a dep and empathetic leader. She has a really strong understanding of the financial landscape which is obviously key but more importantly I think she is really able to craft financial narratives that are easily understood by the team and stakeholders and in doing so is able to instil trust in the numbers and the thinking.

I am the founder of Dispute Buddy. Because of Candice, I can build my own simple financial forecast and present it to investors. The first time that I took an investor conversation and spoke only to my spreadsheets with my financial forecast I just felt absolutely incredible it was such a game changer for how I saw my business. I was able to tell the story of my business through numbers. I was so embarrassed before, that I couldn’t even build my own financial forecast. I had built and sold a company with my husband Matt and he had done most of that, but now that I own Dispute Buddy on my own I just can’t do that – I want to own all of that skill myself. I am so delighted that Candice taught me.

After the Finance Workshop I took the feedback from the session and took immediate action on our costs, which I can't thank Candice enough for the spreadsheet which made everything much clearer. We are still alive as a business and I truly believe that is because of the call we had!

Candice has made such a huge impact. She spent the day with me and my team and the team raved nonstop about having her there. I know this is going to have a great influence, not just on company goals but also on individual team growth.

About Candice Tait

It started with a car wash business when I was 11.

I didn’t know it then, but that first taste of turning an idea into real money sparked a lifelong obsession with how businesses really work. My path wasn’t exactly conventional. It took me from waiting tables to diving headfirst into the world of finance.

Along the way, I got the qualifications. I’m a Chartered Management Accountant and I have a PhD in Corporate Finance, but my real education came from the trenches. I’ve been the only woman in the room, I’ve navigated the corporate world, learned how to fight my corner and make the numbers tell a story of power and potential.

I saw so many brilliant ideas, especially from women, get lost because they couldn’t translate their vision into the language investors speak. I’m here to change that.

My mission is to pull back the curtain on the world of finance. I want to demystify the numbers, help you close that funding gap, and give you the rock solid confidence to not just build a business, but to lead it with unshakeable financial clarity.
