Do you need you finance team to be more commercially focused?
Are you tired of your team just adding up the numbers, rather than adding value?
What is a commercially focused finance team?
- They understand the business.
- They focused on growth.
Do your stakeholders think your finance team is commercially focused?
Does your team know their role is to improve decision making?
Finance needs to provide 3 things:
- What What’s happened & why
- So What What’s the impact
- Now What What’s the potential solutions
The Challenge?
The finance team on a journey to be commercially focused, needs additional skills to those required by people doing the ‘core’ finance tasks.
- What skills do they need?
- What does a roadmap to solutions look like?
- Where is your team focused now?

3 reasons this training will create change
Activity-based Training
Less talking, more doing. People learn so much more effectively when it's activity-based.
Unique ways to communicate complex topics
These tried and tested techniques, including the use of music and discovery stories, keep attendees entertained, engaged and super focused.
Customised to business
The program is 100% customised towards your reports and analysis. Unlike many programs, this is NOT ‘one size fits all’. Your business is unique, I treat it that way.
So, who are you, Alan?
That’s what you’re thinking, right?
I won’t mess around. Let’s get straight to the meat of it.
As part of a Transformation project at a major Melbourne corporate, I led the professional development program, aimed at making finance staff better business partners. It was here I gained real insights into where accountants struggle to make the leap from ‘adding up to adding value’.
Following experiences like this, I developed a keen passion for sharing these insights as a Keynote Speaker and Corporate Educator across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific.
I’ve also been a top rated speaker at CPA Australia Congresses and appeared in the Australian Financial Review.
What People Are Saying
“Rated 4.9 /5 by conference attendee”
“Practical, informative, entertaining and engaging – just a few of the words our delegates used to describe Alan’s keynote session, one of the top-rated speakers at our Congress in Darwin this year.
With his own unique comedy style, Alan gave our audience food for thought and valuable tips to change their approach to reporting and data visualisation. Who knew Motown was so relevant to the accounting profession!"
