From “I’ll be late” to “I’ll be there”
You’re great at your finance job, but the spreadsheets, reconciliations, and report packs keep stealing your time.
If you want your nights and weekends back, you’re in the right place.
The simple system to save 40 hours per month… forever
Trusted By:
Finance Automation Accelerator helps corporate finance leaders automate with proven frameworks and save 40 hours every month, forever.
Get back to the people that matter. Be home for dinner, without the guilt.
Here’s What My Students Are Saying:
One month in, my month-end close is two days faster and I’m not living in Excel 12 hours a day.
Three weeks into the program and I made it home in time for dinner for the first time in six months.
It’s unbelievable, reports that used to take 5 hours are taking 10 minutes.
Within the first week, I had cleaned up one of our messiest reports, now it’s running automatically.
Before
Close data used to come in messy CSV files. Cleaning it and mapping it took hours.
After
Now, a totally free tool collects the data, cleans it, and maps it before 9am.
Get Your Data To Clean Itself
Just ask Jordan. She used to live in copy and paste hell. Now, her data is already clean when she opens her laptop.
Get Your Reports To Run Themselves
Just Ask Anna. Her reports used to take 5 hours to run. Now they update automatically and even email themselves to her executives.
Before
Reports used to be painstakingly built in Excel and copied to PowerPoint.
After
Now, an easy to use dashboard tool refreshes them and automatically send them.
Before
Massive email threads, phone calls, and slack messages to compile commentary. Then, he still had to write it up.
After
Now, his business units submit to a free consolidation tool. A secure AI tool compiles it and writes the first draft.
Get Your Commentary To Write Itself
Just ask Taylor. He shaved 2 days off his close by automating commentary collection from his business units and getting AI to write the first draft.
Stop Fixing Files At 10pm
Just ask Alex: after taking this course, he cut his 5-day close by 2 full days. That’s 24 workdays a year, back on his calendar, not lost to broken files.
