Introducing your new co-pilot: The Helpful Academy

With our signature In-Flight Audit® and 6 Step In-Flight Profitability Framework®, The Helpful Academy is your one-stop shop for helping you fly further, faster and reach your dream destination. 

Hi!

I'm Kat,

Founder of The Helpful Academy, with a heart to help you grow a profitable business...

I’ve been in your shoes, and know how lonely, overwhelming (and expensive!) it can be to learn how to grow a profitable small business. Especially if numbers and tech don't come naturally to you...

I started The Helpful Academy back in 2015 because it's the resource I wish I had when I first started:

Somewhere to make it simple and affordable to learn how to improve my business. So that my business could fly further, faster.

Fast forward a few years and with the help of other industry experts, we've now launched over 40 business courses and helped over 1000 businesses grow their businesses more effortlessly.

I look forward to sharing what I know to help you and your business profitability FLY!

What makes The Helpful Academy different from other business coaches and training companies is our signature In-Flight Profit Detector® and  6 Step Profitability Framework®

Our online training, templates and calculators allow you to get results faster, and reduce the required investment of working with a business coach - #WinningCombination!!!

Here's our unique way of helping you:

Our easy-to-follow Frameworks become like a GPS, helping you take the shortest flight to your dream destination.

We have 3 signature Frameworks to help you grow your business success more effortlessly:

Our 6 Step In-Flight Profit Framework®

NO NEED TO TAKE OUR WORD FOR HOW good OUR TRAINING IS:

Join over 1,000 other small businesses who've found our resources helpful:

Between 2015 and when these screen shots were taken in June 2023, we've only ever received 5 star reviews from our students and clients on both Facebook and Google. I don't think many businesses could boast achieving this after being in business for 8 years (and who knows how long it will last for now that I've drawn attention to it because = #InternetTrolls)
