POC Academy · Business Foundations Training · Open to any industry
A CPA-led training for entrepreneurs who want to do it right from the start, in one day or two: business principles, registration, accounting on a free system, a full compliance overview with a BIR focus, and your own website, inquiry desk, branding kit and three months of social media posts built with AI. Then five years of check-ins — monthly in Year 1, quarterly in Years 2 to 5 — so you don't do it alone.
Who it's for
Food, retail, beauty, travel, services or manufacturing. If you're starting out, or already running but not yet organised, this is for you.
What you'll learn
Explained in plain language by a CPA. Day 1 opens with the Simplified MBA and your 5-Year Plan, then the foundations every business needs: registration, books and compliance. Day 2 is the build day for the two AI modules, where your website, branding kit, three months of social media posts and inquiry desk are made with you.
Built from three books: the five parts of every business and your market score; the only four ways revenue grows and the one lever you pull next; deciding with three options scored on investment, time and return; your next five moves; and your exit-readiness score. You leave with your Business on a Page, signed.
Your future truth, the Year 5 destination in numbers, one theme per year (Foundation, Traction, Team, Systems, Multiply), Year 1 in quarters with dated moves, and the annual review ritual. A seatmate witnesses it and becomes your accountability partner for the check-ins.
Choosing your structure, then DTI, SEC or CDA, barangay and mayor's permit, employer registrations, and the permits specific to your industry.
Set up Odoo, free for accounting, with the Philippine chart of accounts and taxes. Record sales and expenses, then read your own P&L.
Every agency your business answers to: BIR (registration, books, invoices, 8% versus graduated, percentage tax versus VAT, Form 2307, deadlines and penalties), LGU permits and renewals, DTI/SEC/CDA reports, SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG, DOLE basics, the Data Privacy Act, consumer rules and your industry regulator.
Build a one-page business website with Claude, plus your branding kit and three months of ready social media posts. No coding or design skills needed.
Build a form and dashboard that tracks every inquiry, its status and follow-up date, so no customer slips through.
What you walk away with
Websites we built
Every site below was made with the same tools you use in the training: AI, a free hosting account and a plain-language brief. No developer and no agency. Six businesses, six different looks, one method. Open each one and look around; this is the standard your own website is built to.
POC Management Consultancy
A consulting firm's site for foreign investors: services, sourced FAQ, business updates, careers with an online assessment, and an NDA signed online before a consultation.
pocmanagementconsultancy.com ↗
POC Academy
The page you are reading: packages, value table, schedule, sponsorship and reservation, written and built in days, not months.
pocmanagementconsultancy.com/academy ↗
Biyaheko
A travel platform for Filipino travel agents: partner tiers, academy, travel updates, agent calendar and a quote demo, with a customer care desk.
biyaheko.com ↗
Landsair Tours & Travel
A travel agency in business since the 1970s: its story, bookings, travel guides, an agent log-in and live departures, all on one page.

The Wise Queen
A personal brand site: manifesto, method, speaking and a members' area, with a look that is nothing like the others. Same tools, different brief.
thewisequeen.com ↗
Beauty Scout PH
A beauty community that matches you with people whose skin is like yours: skin card, skin twins, a product shelf and verdicts, built as a working app, not a brochure.
beautyscoutph.pocmanagementconsultancy.com ↗Internal tools built the same way, such as our payables and payroll desks, are private and not shown. More sites are added here as they go live.

Training schedule
Friday is Day 1 for both packages. Saturday is Day 2, the build day for Builder participants. The same flow runs on both days, with coaches beside you while you build your own outputs.
Your trainer
A Certified Public Accountant who runs businesses across consulting and travel. She teaches what she practises: setting up properly, keeping clean books, staying compliant with BIR, and using AI to work smarter.
Investment and payment
Per participant, inclusive of lunch and snacks on each training day you attend. Both packages include five years of check-ins.
Pay in full or choose instalments. Our team sends the terms when you reserve.
Secure payment instructions are sent by our team. Never send card details by chat or form.
Fill out the reservation form and we contact you within 24 hours with payment details and your batch schedule.
Fifteen percent for sponsored seats
From every participant and sponsor fee, after taxes, POC sets aside fifteen percent for the POC Academy Sponsored Seats fund: seats in later batches for people starting a business who could not otherwise afford the training, women and men alike, with mentoring from Precious Ordillas Clavo, CPA and the POC team, including their check-ins.
A sponsored seat is not a free seat. The fund pays the fee; the sponsored participant promises to pay the same amount back into the fund within three years, without interest, at their own pace, so the next person can be sponsored. We teach people to fish, and paying it forward is how one seat becomes a blessing to the next. The promise is signed as a Sponsored Seat Addendum; if a business struggles, the plan is adjusted, never penalised.
The fund is kept in its own ledger account. POC chooses the recipients and reports to the alumni community once a year on how much was set aside, how it was used and how much has been paid forward. It is POC's commitment from its own revenue; it does not change your fee. The same undertaking is written into every participant and sponsorship agreement.
Once you have graduated and your business is earning, you may, if you wish, pay any further amount at any time within five years. It is entirely voluntary: no minimum, any amount from zero, never asked for, and nothing about your check-ins or alumni membership changes whether you pay or not. Half of every contribution goes into the same Sponsored Seats fund; the other half is POC's. So the fund has three sources: fifteen percent of every fee, half of every pay-from-the-heart contribution, and every peso a sponsored participant pays forward.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. The websites in the portfolio above were built with the same tools and the same method you use on Day 2: you write the brief in plain language, AI drafts the page, you correct it, and it goes live on a free hosting account in your own name. You leave with a live site and the know-how to change it yourself.
Entrepreneur (₱49,999) is Day 1: business principles, registration, accounting on Odoo and the compliance overview with a BIR focus. Builder (₱99,999) adds Day 2, where you build your website, branding kit, three months of social media posts and inquiry desk with AI. Both include five years of check-ins. If you start with Entrepreneur, you can add Day 2 at any time within five years for ₱70,000 — before your Day 1 or after you have completed it — and attend Day 2 of the next batch with a seat. The add-on costs more than the ₱50,000 gap between the packages because it is a seat in a later batch with its own lunch, coaches and materials, so booking Builder from the start is the better price. The ₱70,000 is fixed for the five years even if package prices rise.
Yes. Sponsor only for Day 1 (₱15,000) or both days (₱25,000). To attend as well, choose Entrepreneur + Day 1 sponsor (₱59,999) or Builder + Days 1–2 sponsor (₱109,999). Choose your package in the reservation form and we will reach out for your logo and materials.
No. The training starts from choosing your business structure. If you are already registered, you will fix gaps and get your books and BIR filings in order.
No. It is open to any industry. Examples rotate across food, retail, beauty, travel and services, and we map the extra permits your industry needs.
Yes. Odoo's free plan covers the Accounting app for life as long as it is the only Odoo app you use. Your website and inquiry desk are hosted on Netlify's free plan. The one paid tool is Claude Pro, about US$20 a month on your own card, which Builder participants need for Day 2 and the first month of check-ins; the free plan's daily limit is not enough for the building blocks.
No. In the Builder package we build the website and inquiry desk step by step together on Day 2.
A laptop with its charger, your phone, and any business documents you already have. Before Day 1, create your own accounts: Google, a Facebook Page for your business, Claude (Builder participants on Claude Pro), Netlify, Odoo and Canva. They stay in your name; we never ask for your logins. A detailed checklist is sent after you reserve.
Both packages include them, and they follow your 5-Year Plan. In Year 1 you get a 1-hour check-in every month (12 sessions); in Years 2 to 5 you get one every quarter (16 sessions). The first check-in of each year is your annual review. Via Zoom or face-to-face at our Makati office; we review your progress, your books and your next steps, and update the scores on your Business on a Page and 5-Year Plan together.
