Together, we can create a world that doesn't experience “death by spreadsheet” while measuring the most important things.
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
I have the experience and technical expertise to fast-track deployment of dashboards and reporting systems.
I have proven better ways of planning and budgeting
I understand the perspective of both business and finance leaders
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.
Let's start by giving you some of my experience and wisdom for free.
If you sign up for my mailing list you can be the first to hear about new blogs and where and when I'm speaking.
I also love having a chat over coffee. I learn about real world issues and people like you have an opportunity to get some advice for free. You can book a free 30 minute video chat (bring your own coffee!) by clicking here or on the button in the menu bar above.
Once people have heard me or interacted with me they often realise that there are further ways I can help them.
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:
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.
Organisations need clear, visual indication of progress against their goals -
Dashboards
that help them to rapidly process information and make decisions.
They need forecasting processes that can adjust rapidly to changing external environment and support evolving strategies for success.
Anyone involved in reporting needs to be able to think strategically and be highly effective.
Therefore the world needs Information Superstars – continuous learners who are able to connect measurement systems with strategy, who skilfully use data tools appropriate to each challenge and who ultimately save their organisations huge amounts of money and time .
Information Superstars bridge the domain of commercial, finance and technology functions and become invaluable assets to both their organisations and their colleagues / co-workers.
But they are also effective human beings, who have the self-management competencies to be organised, focused and mindful of big picture considerations of corporate strategy, sustainable impact and their own mental health.
