“As someone who has always been intimidated by numbers, The Figure Academy was something I knew I had to do for myself and my business but didn’t know how much I would actually enjoy it! Lara has such a knack for teaching accounting and tax. I so appreciated the time she took to understand my business, making the entire process super personal, which is exactly what I was looking for. I love having a deeper understanding of my business and actually enjoy doing income statements now, who knew! I would 100% recommend this course to anyone. Truly, it was brilliant!”

“As a founder, the early years of business call for you to wear ALL the hats. But I could not bear to wear the “accountant” hat. Instead of understanding the financial position of my business, I was determined to spend my time on what I thought really matters – making sales and engaging with customers. But not knowing whether you’re sinking or swimming is detrimental! Lara was incredibly understanding about my mental block towards accounting – she didn’t just get my books in order but taught me how to do it myself. I feel empowered and can finally wear the “accounting hat” with confidence! I tried out various online softwares, but nothing can beat a system that is designed precisely for your business model. Thank you Lara – your help has been priceless!”

"The course covers the fundamentals of bookkeeping and is presented in a way that is easy to understand. It empowers you with the knowledge to do your own books with confidence. After completing the course you will have a thorough understanding of the finances of your business which will allow you to make better financial decisions. It will broaden your horizons as an entrepreneur. Now I have the freedom to focus on my designs and at the same time be rest assured that I know what is going on in my finances. To me this balance has been a long time coming and it is all thanks to The Figure Academy."

"Lara's course is a must-do for anyone with their own business, or if you just want to manage your personal finances a bit better. The course teaches you in a clear and concise way how to record your monthly finances and the various components of tax. Lara is hands on and really gives you insights into how you can manage your books better for your specific company. The course is highly personalised and Lara has such a knack for teaching and explaining concepts to people, especially if like me they are not very number literate. I couldn't recommend it highly enough!"

"The NYBN was definitely the a highlight of my year! It did exactly what it promised to do - I went from feeling overwhelmed by needing to have our business finances in order to empowered that they were compiled correctly. Each week is jam packed with value that you can apply right away. I walked into this course as someone who studied (and even enjoyed) accounting all the way to second year Varsity but when it came to running my business finances I was completely overwhelmed by taking all my theoretical knowledge and applying it practically. Lara made it so easy to complete all of the modules on my own time and comprehensively answered all my questions.I could not recommend the NYBN course enough. Do yourself a favour and give it a go!"

"I was not sure what to expect as I've never done a course like this but I was pleasantly surprised. It was money well spent and I have enjoyed every moment! The course provided me with the knowledge to understand the figures that my business is turning, and showed me how to calculate and evaluate if my business is profitable and successful. This enabled me to see areas that need improvement, and it has helped me to plan for the future. I learnt the language of business and tax, and I now know how to calculate the tax that for my business! I am so grateful to know how to do that now."
