Description

What this opens up:
Floral businesses that are commercially underprepared share a recognizable pattern — strong creative output, inconsistent financial performance, and a persistent uncertainty about whether the work is actually profitable at the job level. This module addresses that uncertainty with a complete financial management framework built around the specific economics of floral work.

The module covers:
– Full job costing methodology: calculating the true cost of a job from stem cost and sundries through labour, preparation time, delivery, and overhead allocation — the costing discipline that reveals whether a job’s price reflects its actual cost or an optimistic approximation of it
– Pricing structure design: building a pricing architecture that reflects the full cost of delivery for different job types — retail, event, wholesale, installation — with the margin logic that supports investment in quality without pricing out the client base the practice is built for
– Seasonal cash flow planning: mapping the revenue and expenditure patterns of a business with high seasonal concentration, building the cash reserves and forward booking systems that smooth the financial impact of seasonal demand cycles, and planning for the periods where the work is quiet and the costs are not

Approximate study time: +/- 6 hours

What it produces:
A financial management practice grounded in the actual economics of floral work — with the costing discipline, pricing architecture, and cash flow planning tools that make commercial decisions with clarity and build the financial stability that allows the creative work to continue.
