"Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing."

– Warren Buffett, Chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway

Learn my simple 3-step approach to effective strategic decision making

  • Analyze

    Learn the strategic and tactical approach to analyzing a company's financial performance, so you can understand trends, anticipate risks and take advantage of opportunities.

  • Visualize

    Understand the power of visual storytelling to present key financial metrics and trends and enable stakeholders to grasp the big picture to make informed decisions quickly.

  • Strategize

    Convert data-driven insights into strategic actions to enhance alignment with business goals and improve effective business decision making that drives business success.

"Financial analysis is the cornerstone of strategic planning. It transforms raw data into actionable insights, enabling businesses to design effective business strategy achieves strategic objectives and creates value for shareholders".

Everyone is talking about Ratios and Margins, but what do they really mean?

And how should you use them to actually drive business results?

"I work as a Financial Analyst but didn't realize how incomplete my view of ratio analysis was before this course. Other trainings I took mostly focused on the technical skills but didn't help me understand why the data was what it was, or how to present it to executives. This course helped me improve my forecasts and taught me how to think strategically so I can get CFO to buy into my ideas. Highly recommend."

Jeremy Reid, Financial Analyst

Poor Financial Analysis has Dramatic Consequences...

  • If you don't analyze historical financial results thoroughly...

    ...you risk having no solid baseline to understand past performance, hindering your ability to make informed forecasts, set benchmarks, and drive future improvements.

  • If you lack a strategic understanding of your company's SWOT through both external and internal lenses...

    ...you risk basing your forecasts and budgets on disconnected assumptions. This oversight can lead to missing targets, breaching financial covenants, and, in the worst case, facing insolvency.

  • If you fail to integrate strategic objectives into your financial forecasts and targets...

    ...you risk misaligning your financial planning with your business goals, leading to inefficient resource allocation and missed opportunities for growth.
