About Us: Andromeda Simulations International

Welcome to Andromeda Simulations International, home of Income|Outcome and pioneers of Visual Finance. For over 30 years, we've been helping people understand how business works — not through spreadsheets or lectures, but through hands-on, engaging business simulations that bring financial statements to life.

Our Mission

We believe that financial acumen isn't reserved for CFOs or accountants. It’s essential for everyone in a business to understand the big picture. Our mission is to transform how people think about business by making complex concepts simple, visual, and interactive. We create learning experiences that make finance relatable, practical, and empowering.

Our Origin Story

It started with a question: Why do so many people fear finance?

Back in the 1990s, we saw a problem. Business leaders were making decisions without truly understanding the financial impact of their choices. And the traditional ways of teaching finance — lectures, charts, endless spreadsheets — weren’t helping.

So we designed a different approach. We built a simulation where the game board represented not just the classroom company, but that company's financial statements. It was a three-dimensional landscape of the income statement and balance sheet, and it allowed participants to see the financial impact of their decisions in real time. It was visual. It was engaging. And it worked.

Since then, we've partnered with Fortune 500 companies, universities, and business schools worldwide to deliver simulations that turn financial novices into confident decision-makers.

What We Do

We design business acumen simulations to build business savvy across an organization.

  • Survey Level: Building big-picture understanding of how the business works.
  • Core Level: Developing financial skills to drive better decisions.
  • Mastery Leve: Strengthening strategic thinking and long-term planning.l

Our simulations are used in corporate training, EMBA programs, and executive education to teach financial literacy, cross-functional collaboration, and strategic decision-making.

Why Visual Finance?

Numbers on a page tell a story — but only if you know how to read them. Visual Finance makes that story visible. We’ve turned financial statements into a 3D landscape where participants can see cash flow, profit, and working capital at a glance. It’s a revolutionary way to teach finance that resonates with both finance professionals and those who usually avoid the subject.

Our tagline says it all: A picture is worth 1,000 numbers.

Our Approach

Andromeda Simulations International began as a passion project between two founders who wanted to change the way people learn about business. Since creating the Income|Outcome simulation in 1996, we’ve worked with an incredible network of facilitators and professionals who share our vision of making business acumen accessible to all.

Today, we remain a close-knit team dedicated to delivering meaningful learning experiences. We collaborate with an international network of facilitators who can deliver workshops in over 12 languages, ensuring our simulations have a truly global reach.

Our strength lies in our ability to adapt, innovate, and personalize our approach to meet the unique needs of our clients worldwide. What hasn’t changed is our commitment to delivering exceptional learning experiences that transform how people think about business.

Why It Matters

Business acumen isn’t just for finance—it’s for everyone in the company because everyone makes decisions, and everyone impacts results. When people understand how a business works, they make better choices, collaborate more effectively, and contribute to success.

Our goal is simple: To make better business acumen accessible to everyone.

Everyone makes decisions. Everyone needs to understand how their choices impact results.
