I can help your organisation to  create better, more visual, robust management reporting and to plan and budget better.


See clearly in a post-pandemic world overwhelmed by uncertainty, too much meaningless information and too many spreadsheets

Can you get the most important information you need when you need it?

How can you work with me? - What working with Andy looks like...


People buy from people they trust. 

 

My overall business mission is to equip accounting and finance professionals to help themselves.


So I really don't want to 'sell' you anything.


All the work that companies pay me for comes because they've seen me in action and have learnt to trust both what I say and what I do.  Sometimes it's because I've worked with them previously in my corporate career.  Others have heard me speak or read my content.


They've liked what they've seen and they've recognised that they have a problem with management reporting and forecasting which I can help them to solve.

Virtual Courses

When there's demand, I run virtual courses.  In 2020 I ran an open, eight week-programme to help accountants appreciate the Objective and Key Result ("OKR") method of planning, and taught them:

  • thinking paradigms to get to grips with moving from inflexible annual budgeting to responsive rolling forecasts.
  • shortening the cycle of monthly reporting through smarter use of Excel Spreadsheets.


 I am now offering my Power Query Bootcamp as a standalone programme.


Monthly Accelerator Coaching

All of my course participants since 2020 have signed up to work with me in my Accelerator Programme, where I provide monthly personal coaching and equipping.


Custom-built reporting and forecasting solutions.

The above courses and Accelerator programme help accountants and finance professionals both create value for their organisations now and level up their skills to enhance their careers. However, sometimes they need a technical solution deployed urgently, before the learning curve of my training is complete. 


In those circumstances I'm happy to write and deploy and Excel / Power BI solutions and coach them so that it's sustainable in their hands.


More details are in the section below.
