As a finance leader, you are expected to be able to deal with a myriad of issues and situations. You have your experience and what you learned from colleagues and mentors, but this course will provide you with many more veteran tips, including many unconventional ones. You won’t find these tips in most courses or textbooks, but you’ll be able to use many of them. Over 9,000 accountants have taken the course, so you don’t want to fall behind them.

This is Part 1 of the two-part course.

The following professionals will benefit from this course: Controllers, CFOs, directors of finance, treasurers, and accounting managers. In addition, it is helpful for people moving toward these roles. Consultants and public accountants have historically been 10-15% of the audience and also enjoy it.

PAST FEEDBACK

• I can tell you this is the most interesting course I have followed on the CPA portal,… and I have roughly 30 years of experience. You have very good communication skills and you have a bright sense of humour
• You were covering pretty much all a controller or CFO have to know do to a good job. It is always inspiring to see a real CFO telling real tips to cause he have been hands on during several years as you shown on your course
• I really appreciated the concrete examples, it is easier to relate to. I also appreciated the jokes.
• I found it very refreshing to have some insights on how I could improve my "game". A lot of topics you bring up are aspects of our daily life at work but are not thought of at university or CPA program.
• I've enjoyed the delivery speed of your course and it kept my attention all the way through. I liked your hands-on and concrete approach
• I wish I knew some of these tips before, e.g. conversion tips, and I would probably implement others, like a one-page dashboard.
• I find it very interesting and not the typical CPA online course!
• I like how it's different and feels like it's more practical for day-to-day work, especially as an entrepreneur.
• Topics I particularly enjoyed: Ethics and integrity, banking
• The mix of tips with actual life experiences made the course enjoyable.
• Thank you for providing so many practical tips! It’s fun to learn through lots of stories!

Each profession and regulatory body has its own requirement. These requirements are in a state of flux. As a result of the changing nature of professional development requirements it’s best to visit your association’s website.

Each course is created by instructor(s). The main part of each course is a set of videos that you can watch on-demand. Courses can also include quizzes, articles and supporting resources like PDF, Excel and other documents.

The course starts as soon as you sign up - you will have full access to all course content and materials immediately and have up to 365 days to complete it.

Our Packages and Custom Package are subscription-based.
