This is for you if…

  • You’re a finance professional with at least a few years of experience
  • You’ve tried AI tools but still feel like you haven’t really gotten there
  • You’re willing to invest 1 hour a day for 4 weeks to change that permanently
  • You want to come out of this with something built — not just knowledge
  • You’re ready to be the AI person in your department, not just the one who’s “exploring it”

And this is not for you if…

  • You’re looking for a passive course to add to your “someday” list
  • You want theory without application
  • You’re not ready to show up and do the work

You’ve tried AI. You haven’t gotten there yet.

You’ve watched the demos. Played with ChatGPT. Maybe bought a course. You get the concept.

But when you sit down with your actual work, your actual close process, your actual reporting cycle, your actual data, it doesn’t come together. You end up using AI for the wrong things, giving up halfway through, or building something that breaks the following month.

Meanwhile, the gap keeps growing. Every week there’s someone on LinkedIn who “automated their whole FP&A process.” You’re still running the same workflow you were running two years ago.

The problem isn’t that you’re not smart enough or motivated enough.

The problem is you’ve never had a structured path from where you are to where you want to be, with someone walking you through it, week by week, applied to your actual job.

That’s what Fast Track is.

I know exactly where you’re going to get stuck. Because I’ve been there.

I spent years watching finance professionals try to learn AI the hard way — scattered tutorials, disconnected tools, no clear path. I’ve seen exactly where people get stuck. Fast Track is built around every one of those sticking points.

I’m Mike Dion. I’ve:

  • 150,000+ hours saved for finance teams
  • 100+ finance professionals helped to promotion
  • Led finance teams at Fortune 100 companies
  • 5,000+ finance professionals trained
  • Trusted by teams at Verizon, Lionsgate, YMCA, and more

Finance pros don’t need more AI content. They need a 4-week forcing function with a clear structure, real accountability, and someone who knows exactly where they’ll get stuck before they do. That’s what I built.

Here’s exactly what happens in 4 weeks.

This isn’t a course you finish and then figure out how to apply. Every week ends with something running in your real job.

Week 1

Build Your AI Foundation

You’ll set up your AI toolkit, learn to prompt for finance-specific tasks (not generic ChatGPT prompting — finance prompting), and build your first live workflow before Friday. By the end of the week, AI is already running in your job.

Friday deliverable: Your first live AI workflow.

WEEK 2

Automate The Hours

We attack your biggest time drains. Automated reporting, data cleaning, AI-generated variance commentary. Most students find 5–10 hours saved during this week alone — before the program is even halfway done.

Friday deliverable: At least one recurring task fully automated.

WEEK 3

Level Up Your Analysis

AI stops being an assistant and starts being an analyst. Scenario modeling, anomaly detection, AI-assisted forecasting.

You’re doing in an hour what used to take a day.

Friday deliverable: A working AI-assisted analysis workflow.

Week 4

Build Your System

Tie it all together into your Finance AI Stack, the documented system that captures your tools, prompts, workflows, and processes.
This is what you present to your CFO and hand to your team.

Friday deliverable: Your complete Finance AI Stack.

Everything you need to go from figuring out AI to running it.

The average finance consultant charges $200–500/hour for AI implementation work. Fast Track gives you the skills to do it yourself, and a system that keeps running after we’re done.

If you do the work and don’t see results, you shouldn’t pay for it.

Show up for the first two weeks. Complete the daily sessions. Join the Friday calls. If by the end of Week 2 you haven’t automated something in your real job, email me for a full refund.

I ask that you do the work, because when you do, this works. But I’m not keeping money from someone who gave it a real shot and didn’t get results.

Three steps to your Finance AI transformation.

Step 1: Enroll Before June 8th

Seats are capped at 20 to keep the Friday calls valuable. When it’s full, it’s full. After June 8th, the next cohort won’t start until later this year.

Step 2: Prepare (10 Minutes)

After enrolling you’ll get a short pre-work email: which tools to have ready, what to expect in Week 1, and how to identify your highest-value AI target before Day 1. You’re not starting cold.

Step 3: Show Up

One hour a day. Every weekday for 4 weeks. One Friday call each week. That’s the full commitment. By Week 4 you’ll have a Finance AI system running in your job, and the skills to keep building.

Four weeks from now

You don’t leave Fast Track knowing more about AI. You leave with a Finance AI system running in your actual job, and the skills to keep building it.

Now

  • Dabbling with AI, nothing fully working
  • Manually building reports you’ve built 100 times
  • “I should learn more about AI” on your mental to-do list
  • Wondering if your skills will hold up in 3 years
  • A vague sense you’re falling behind

After Fast Track

  • AI workflows running in your real job, every week
  • Reports generating in minutes — you review, not build
  • That task is done. Your system is built.
  • You’re the person who changed the function before anyone made you
  • Peers asking what you’re doing differently

Cohort 1 starts June 8, 2026.

Pay in Full — $2,997 Under the typical company L&D approval threshold. Straightforward to expense — guide below.

Payment Plan — 3 × $999 Three monthly payments. First payment today. Under $1,000 per payment.

⚠️ Cohort 1 is capped at 20 students to keep the Friday calls valuable. Once it’s full, the next cohort won’t start until later this year.

Money-Back Guarantee · Friday Calls Recorded · 3 Months Finance AI Lab Included

Still on the fence?

“$2,997 is a lot.” Consider what you’re spending right now. The average finance professional doing work AI could handle loses 5–10 hours a week. At a $75k salary that’s roughly $75/hour. Fast Track pays for itself in 4–8 weeks, and it qualifies as professional development at most companies. The expense guide is below.

“I don’t have time for 1 hour a day.” If you don’t have 1 hour a day now, that won’t be more true in 6 months. Fast Track is 4 weeks, weekdays only, with Friday calls recorded if you can’t attend live. The constraint isn’t time — it’s deciding this matters. And if you’re reading this far, you already know it does.

“I’ve tried to learn AI before and it didn’t stick.” That’s because you were learning without structure and without accountability. Fast Track has both. You’re not watching tutorials — you’re building something that runs in your job by the end of Week 1. When AI solves a real problem in your actual work, it sticks. Every single week ends with a deliverable you’ve already shipped.

Enroll now

Your company should pay for this.

Fast Track qualifies as professional development at most organizations. At $2,997 it typically falls under standard L&D approval thresholds.

Copy-paste this email to your manager:

Subject: Request: Expense Finance AI Fast Track

Hi [Manager Name],

I’d like to expense Finance AI Fast Track — a 4-week cohort program run by Mike Dion (F9 Finance) designed specifically for finance professionals. The program includes structured daily sessions, weekly live calls with Mike, and hands-on AI workflow building applied directly to our finance processes.

My goal is to use it immediately to improve [insert process: monthly reporting / variance commentary / data cleanup / close process]. Based on program outcomes, this should save approximately [X] hours per week — which at our blended rate translates to roughly $[annual value] in time back each year.

What’s included: 16 structured sessions, 4 live Friday group calls, a plug-and-play workflow library, and unlimited async coaching on real finance problems.

Cost: $2,997 one-time (or 3 × $999). Includes a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Happy to share a before/after summary with the team after Week 2.

Thanks,
[Your Name]

Frequently Asked Questions

Four hours of daily content Monday through Thursday (1 hour per session), plus one Friday group call with Mike that runs about 60 minutes. That’s roughly 5 hours per week. Sessions are self-paced so you can fit them into your schedule — and Friday calls are recorded if you can’t attend live.

Every Friday call is recorded and made available to cohort members. You won’t miss anything — but we do recommend attending live when you can. The hot seats and live problem-solving are where a lot of the real breakthroughs happen.

You don’t need anything fancy to start. If you have access to ChatGPT, Copilot, or any AI tool your company already uses, you’re ready for Day 1. We’ll help you identify the right tools for your specific workflows in Week 1.

Finance AI Lab is where you build one AI skill at a time, 15 minutes a day, on your own schedule — great for ongoing skill-building. Finance AI Fast Track is a 4-week intensive with live calls, real deliverables every week, and a complete Finance AI system at the end. It’s for finance pros who want a transformation now, not gradually. Fast Track graduates get 3 months of Lab included so they can keep the momentum going after the program ends.

Fast Track is designed for finance professionals, not developers. If you can use Excel, you can do this. Week 1 starts from the ground up — we set up your toolkit together and make sure you’re running your first real workflow before Friday.
