Psikoaktifpartner Finance Academy is a focused learning platform for leaders who want to understand how profit, cash and risk really behave in their business – without becoming full-time finance specialists.
In twelve weeks you build your own “financial radar” using your real context, so you can anticipate stress, protect healthy margins and speak with confidence to teams, banks and advisors.
What we work on together
During the program you learn to build simple, recurring views like this one – tailored to your real business, not to textbook examples.
12
Cohort weeks combining live work and structured reflection.
18
Maximum leaders per group – small enough for depth.
1
Core goal: a leader who thinks clearly with numbers.
Traditional finance education often starts with isolated formulas. Psikoaktifpartner Finance Academy starts from your decisions: whether to open a new site, change terms with a key client, or slow down expansion. The platform then helps you build the financial story behind each of those choices.
Clarity
See where value is created, where it leaks, and how decisions travel through your numbers.
Direction
Understand which financial indicators really guide your next steps instead of tracking everything.
Language
Learn to discuss numbers with boards, banks and teams without hiding behind jargon.
Built for the realities of owner-led and mid-sized companies
Cases and exercises are drawn from real businesses where leadership is close to operations and financial decisions are intertwined with relationships.
Not a textbook class
We do not prepare you for exams or certifications.
A decision lab
You test thinking tools directly on real trade-offs you face.
One narrative across three statements
You learn to read P&L, balance sheet and cash flow as one narrative instead of three separate puzzles. This narrative becomes the backbone of your strategic choices.
Early diagnosis of stress
You experiment with simple “what if” views that reveal how quickly stress can build if a client pays late or a cost category grows faster than revenue.
Better conversations with experts
You will not replace your accountant, but you will be able to ask sharper questions and judge whether solutions fit your specific risk appetite.
The academy follows a steady rhythm: one live lab per week, one focused practice block and one small conversation you bring back to your company. The goal is not to add noise to your calendar, but to change how you use numbers inside it.
Each step adds a layer: first visibility, then understanding, then deliberate action. You can explore the detailed week-by-week outline on the program page.
View detailed program structureWeekly pattern
Live lab
90 minutes of guided work on one specific theme and case.
Practice
Short exercises anchored to your own numbers and context.
Conversation
One focused dialogue with a colleague, advisor or partner.
Along the way you can request optional 1:1 check-ins to stress-test your thinking, using anonymised data where needed.
Step 1
From chaos to map
You sketch how money enters, moves through and leaves your business today – a simple, honest baseline.
Step 2
Finding pressure points
You examine where margins are fragile, where cash gets stuck and which dependencies feel uncomfortable.
Step 3
Designing scenarios
You play through alternatives: growth vs. consolidation, investment vs. caution, and see how they land in the numbers.
Step 4
Sharing the story
You shape a narrative that can be shared with your board, bank or leadership team without distortion.
The academy is not only about understanding a specific spreadsheet. It is about building habits of thinking that you can apply whenever a complex decision appears, whether you are renegotiating a credit line or considering a new market.
The content is educational and general in nature. It is not a substitute for independent professional advice on accounting, tax, law or investments.
Participants come from different sectors, but share a common situation: they are ultimately accountable for the health of the business and need a clearer way to see what is happening financially.
Whether you lead a growing family business or a business unit inside a larger group, the academy helps you connect financial reality with people, products and clients.
Entrepreneurs & founders
CEOs and general managers
Heads of units and functions
Italian businesses combine formal structures with long-standing relationships. Payment culture, regional seasonality and the role of banks make financial decisions more nuanced than any generic textbook scenario.
Psikoaktifpartner Finance Academy uses examples drawn from this context: seasonal demand, tourism, manufacturing supply chains and service businesses where trust and reputation are central.

Alumni regularly report the same shift: they no longer “hope” the business is fine – they can show clearly why it is healthy, fragile or changing, and what they are doing about it.
These snapshots are illustrative of the types of outcomes leaders describe after completing the academy.
Founder, multi-location retail brand
Milan, Italy
“For years I relied on intuition and the feeling in our stores. After the academy I still trust my intuition, but I can now open three simple views and show my partners exactly where that feeling appears in the numbers.”
CEO, manufacturing company
Emilia-Romagna, Italy
“We discovered that our proudest growth story was actually compressing our cash. Changing our terms and mix was uncomfortable, but we now grow with eyes open instead of chasing volume blindly.”
