Cash Flow Advisory Lite
Discover a step-by-step training for learning short-term cash flow forecasting and building the foundations of your Cash Flow Advisory offering.
Have your clients ever asked you questions like:
“Can I afford to hire a new team member next month?”
“Can you help me create a budget so I know what to spend on different things?”
“If we don’t win this big piece of work, will we have enough cash to make payroll?”
If you answered yes to any – or all – of the above, then your client’s all need the same thing:
Short-term Cash Flow Forecasting & Planning
Maybe cash flow forecasting is something you’ve tried in the past using spreadsheets, or clunky, outdated software.
Maybe you have experience with longer-term forecasting, or using an accrual-based forecasting tool, but your clients need something that’s more granular and grounded in the near-term.
That’s where short-term cash flow forecasting can help.
Forecasting helps your clients make better business decisions in the short-term leading to huge compounding impacts in the long-term.
But, trying to jump into short-term cash flow forecasting without a clear process for:
– Managing and collecting bookkeeping data
– Quickly creating and updating your forecasts
– Pricing, delivering, and communicating your forecasts
Will lead to hours of wasted time and diminish the value of your service for you and your clients.
That's why we created Cash Flow Advisory Lite

Hi, I’m Kelvin Gieck, CFA 👋
After holding several CFO level positions with small, private oil, gas, and energy-related entities, I set up Twenty Eighty, a top cloud accounting firm in Western Canada, specialising in part-time controller and fractional CFO services.
After months of wasting hours pulling together manual spreadsheets, I realised there was a gap in the market for a quick and simple short-term cash flow forecasting tool that allowed me to help my clients to make those all-important business decisions – and so Helm was born.
This self-paced course was designed to give you the knowledge and tools you need to be able to take Helm and build, scale, and deliver a high-fee, high-value cash flow advisory service that makes you indispensable to your clients. It’s the exact playbook I’ve been using in my own firm and I’m sharing it with you here.
