For leaders and trustees who are responsible for the numbers but not trained in them

Numbers You Get

Twelve weeks, eight places, starting Monday 28 September. Founding places close Tuesday 22 September.

Does any of this sound familiar?

You’re brilliant at what you do ‑ but the numbers were never really explained to you. If any of these ring true, Numbers You Get was built for you:

You receive finance reports but aren’t really sure what they mean.
You’ve got cash in the bank, but you don’t know how much is actually available to spend.
Restricted funds feel confusing.
Conversations about finance leave you feeling uncertain or confused.
You rely on others to explain the numbers.

Then this programme is for you.

Meet your trainer

Hi, I’m Laureen.

I’m a finance specialist and the founder of LC Accountancy Services. I’ve spent over 15 years as a Finance Manager in industry and in the third sector, and in 2023 I made the leap to start my own business and focus on work that truly matters.

I believe every purpose-led organisation should feel confident about their numbers ‑ not confused by them. That’s exactly what this programme is built to do.

What's included in the programme

Over 12 weeks you’ll get everything you need to move from unclear reports to confident financial conversations:

5 Live Learning Labs ‑ small-group sessions that build your confidence one topic at a time.
5 Group Implementation Sessions ‑ time and support to apply it to your own organisation.
Financial Leadership Diagnostic ‑ see exactly where your confidence gaps are, and close them.
Worksheets and Templates ‑ practical tools you keep and reuse long after the programme.
Private Learning Community ‑ a supportive space to ask questions and learn alongside your peers.
Practical, real-world guidance ‑ no jargon, just clear answers you can use straight away.

Only 8 places on each cohort, kept small on purpose so everyone gets real attention and maximum benefit. The founding cohort is open now and closes Tuesday 22 September. We start on Monday 28 September.

What people say

“Laureen combines a fantastic understanding of charity finances with a real gift for explaining them, helping programme staff and colleagues genuinely understand their budgets. She’s one of the best charity finance people I’ve had the pleasure to work with.”

‑ Paul Smyth, Executive Director, Politics in Action

“Laureen took the time to break down every aspect of my role and made sure I fully understood before moving on. The tips, tricks and knowledge were second to none, and nothing was ever a bother. She’s made a massive difference, not just to my efficiency but to my confidence.”

‑ Sharon Hutchinson, Women’s Aid Foyle

“Finances can be a daunting place for someone like me whose expertise lies elsewhere. Laureen, in her own patient and very professional manner, guided and supported me in a way that was never judgemental. She took her time to ensure I understood financial reports, and we worked collaboratively to develop our own bespoke financial recording system, prepare draft budgets for board approval and review cash projections, invoicing and credit control.”

‑ Sheenagh McNally, Former Head of Corporate Services, Supporting Communities
