Run AI in your finance function in 4 weeks.
Finance AI Fast Track is a 4-week program for finance professionals who are done exploring AI and ready to run it. One hour a day. Weekly live calls. Real workflows in your real job, by the end of Week 1.
What happens by Week 2 and 3
“Two weeks in, my month-end close is two days faster and I’m not living in Excel 12 hours a day.”
“Three weeks in and I made it home for dinner for the first time in six months. The system runs. I just review it.”
“By Week 2 I had automated my monthly reporting pack. Something I’d been doing manually for 4 years. Reports that used to take 5 hours take 10 minutes.”
This is for you if…
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:
- Saved finance teams 150,000+ hours of grunt work
- Helped 100+ finance professionals to promotion
- Trained 5,000+ finance professionals
- A senior finance leader, currently in the seat
- 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.
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.
Automate The Hours
We attack your biggest time drains. Automated reporting, data cleaning, AI-generated variance commentary. Most students find 5 to 10 hours saved during this week alone, before the program is even halfway done.
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.
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.
Everything you need to go from figuring out AI to running it.
The average finance consultant charges $200 to $500 an 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.
4-Week Curriculum
16 self-paced daily sessions, 1 hour each. Week-by-week, day-by-day, fully structured.
4 Group Calls
Live Friday calls with Mike. Q&A, hot seats, wins, live problem-solving. Recorded if you can’t attend live.
Unlimited Ask & Fix
Post your real AI challenge, your actual file, your actual problem. Get a real answer from Mike and the community. Async and fast.
Resource Library
An always-on vault of templates, prompt libraries, and reference guides organized by role and use case. Grows continuously.
Plug & Play Workflows
Pre-built AI workflows you can deploy immediately. No setup, no coding. Connect your data, hit refresh, done.
Finance AI Stack Framework
The Week 4 deliverable. Your documented AI system, ready to present and deploy.
Private Cohort Community
Controllers, FP&A managers, fractional CFOs. Peers solving the same problems, sharing wins, reviewing real workflows.
One-time investment, or 3 payments of $999. Under the typical company L&D approval threshold and straightforward to expense. Reimbursement guide below.
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.
Enroll while seats last
Seats are capped at 20 to keep the Friday calls valuable. When it’s full, it’s full, and the next cohort won’t start until later this year.
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.
Show up
One hour a day, every weekday for 4 weeks, plus 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.
You don’t leave knowing more. You leave with a system running.
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
The next cohort starts soon.
Pay In Full
Under the typical company L&D approval threshold. Straightforward to expense, and the reimbursement guide is below.
Payment Plan
Three monthly payments, first payment today. Under $1,000 per payment.
The three things people say before enrolling
“$2,997 is a lot.”
“I don’t have time for 1 hour a day.”
“I’ve tried to learn AI before and it didn’t stick.”
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 money-back guarantee.
Happy to share a before/after summary with the team after Week 2.
Thanks,
[Your Name]
