Your Guide Through Finance Automation

Finance That Runs Itself. You Work On What Matters.

Get Started

Welcome To Mike’s F9 Finance!

Let’s be real: spreadsheets aren’t “tools,” they’re hostile coworkers. One wrong formula and suddenly your weekend’s gone, your CFO deck’s wrong, and your boss is side-eyeing you like you invented chaos.

That’s where I come in. I’m Mike, and at F9 Finance I show you how to stop being the Spreadsheet Firefighter and start being the Finance Hero. I’ll teach you how to:

  • Automate the grunt work (goodbye 11pm copy-paste sessions).
  • Get one version of the truth (no more “Final_v7_REALfinal.xlsx”).
  • Look strategic, not stuck (translation: you actually get promoted).

This isn’t “finance theory” or another coma-inducing webinar. These are tested playbooks, tools, and hacks that Fortune 100 teams and scrappy startups alike use to reclaim 5–10+ hours a week, cut close times in half, and finally escape version-control purgatory.

Think of me as that blunt friend who tells you when you’ve got spinach in your teeth—except the spinach is inefficiency, and I hand you the automation to wipe it clean.

Bottom line: You’ll save time, sidestep the “Excel-blew-up-again” embarrassment, and actually have bandwidth for work that gets noticed.

Welcome to F9 Finance. Finance that runs itself. You work on what matters.
