  This face-to-face Accleler8or Program is for female founders of startups or scaleups from throughout Queensland.  Our intention is to create a cohort of women who lift each other up and continue to support each other even after this program has finished.  

  BDO’s financial education programs are interactive, engaging and provide you with practical resources and tools. Female founders selected to join the two-day Acceler8or program will receive two online tools and a workbook with activities to ensure startup founders apply the concepts to their own company. 

  What you will learn 

  Over two-days of intense learning you will build a cash flow forecast and financial strategy for your startup or scaleup.  Founders will learn how to translate their vision and business goals into a financial roadmap. Using our online tool, you will calculate month revenue targets, determine when you can afford to hire and how much capital investment you’ll need.  Our second online tool helps founders identify their current cash position and strategies to stretch and improve your runway.  This program is an excellent opportunity to connect with other female entrepreneurs, to inspire each other through collaboration and build practical strategies to accelerate your business growth.
