Get 7 hours a week back.
Finance AI Lab is where finance pros hand one piece of their job to AI every two weeks: reporting, data cleanup, commentary, the close. Members who finish their first four roadmaps get about 7 hours a week back. The first one takes two weeks.

AI is moving fast. Your workload isn’t.
Every week there is a new AI tool, a new use case, another LinkedIn post about someone who automated their whole close. You have tried to keep up. Watched the videos, bookmarked the tutorials, maybe even bought a course.
But nothing sticks, because nothing is built for your job, your tools, your actual workflow.
You are not behind. You are one roadmap away.

| Roadmap | Hours back | What you walk away with |
|---|---|---|
| AI Reporting | ~3.5/week | Your weekly reporting pack refreshes itself. |
| Data Cleaning | ~4/week | Messy CSVs clean and map themselves before 9am. |
| AI Commentary | ~5/month | Budget vs. actual commentary drafts itself from your numbers. |
| Close Automation | ~2 days/close | Commentary collection and consolidation run without the email chase. |
| AI Forecasting | in progress | A first-pass forecast your AI drafts and you refine. |

A new roadmap drops every 2 weeks. The full back-catalog is yours from day one. Start where it hurts most.
Savings overlap, so four roadmaps land around 7 hours a week rather than the total the column adds up to. We’d rather you knew that going in.
How the Lab works
Join the room
Full access the minute you are in: every roadmap, the workshops, the library, and the people. No waiting for a cohort, no drip schedule.
Start your first roadmap
Mike points you to the one to start with, so there is no where-do-I-begin moment. Day 1 tells you exactly what to do.
Follow it 15 minutes at a time
One step a day. Close the tab, go run your close. Two weeks from now you have shipped something real, and the next roadmap is waiting.
“My reports that took 5 hours now run while I sleep.”Anna P · Senior Finance Manager
From finance pros like you
Every number below is one member, one process, one roadmap. Stack four and you are at about 7 hours a week.
“Before Finance AI Lab, I spent 6 hours every month writing budget commentary. Now I do it in 45 minutes. I showed my CFO and got promoted 3 months later.”
“The data cleaning roadmap alone saved me 4 hours a week. That is 200 hours a year back.”
“I was skeptical that 15 minutes a day could move the needle. I was wrong. My reports that took 5 hours now run while I sleep.”
“I cut 2 full days off our close process. That is 24 workdays a year I got back, for $59 a month.”
You don’t need more content. You need a system.
I know what it feels like to watch AI explode around you while you are still running the same month-end process. The finance pros I work with are not short on tutorials. They are short on a path that fits a real workday.
So I built one. A new skill every two weeks, 15 minutes at a time, applied to the job you already have. No theory, no marathon course you will never finish, just a real win you can show your boss.

Have your company pay for it

Save 3 hours a week and you have handed back about 150 hours a year. At a typical finance rate of $80 to $150 an hour, that is $12,000 to $22,500 of time, against a $590 membership. Your first roadmap covers the year.

Step 1. Find the right budget bucket
Most companies already have money for this. Look under:
- Learning & Development or Professional Development
- Technical Training or Data & Analytics Enablement
- Digital Transformation, Process Improvement, or Continuous Improvement
Step 2. Pick the Week-2 win you will deliver
Make the ask concrete. Choose one you can ship in the first 2 weeks:
- Turn a 5-hour report into a 10-minute refresh
- Clean and combine messy data sources with no manual copy-paste
- Build a live cash-flow view that updates automatically
- Standardize a variance package with commentary capture and rollup
Step 3. Do the math (quick ROI)
Use conservative numbers your manager cannot argue with. A typical finance blended rate is $80 to $150 an hour.
- Save 1 hour a week → about 50 hours a year, worth $4,000 to $7,500
- Save 3 hours a week → about 150 hours a year, worth $12,000 to $22,500
- Save 5 hours a week → about 250 hours a year, worth $20,000 to $37,500
Membership: $59 a month, or $590 a year. One-roadmap, 30-day money-back guarantee.

Subject: Request to expense Finance AI Lab
Hi [Manager Name],
I would like to expense a membership to Finance AI Lab, a finance-specific automation program run by Mike Dion (F9 Finance). It includes ready-to-run workflows, on-demand workshops, and async Ask & Fix coaching. The goal is simple: ship one real automation in the first 2 weeks, then keep stacking weekly wins.
I plan to use it immediately to improve [insert process, for example monthly reporting or cash-flow forecasting]. Based on the Lab’s templates and member results, this should save about [conservative hours] a week, which at our rate is roughly $[annual value] a year in time back.
Cost: $59 a month ($590 a year), with a one-roadmap, 30-day money-back guarantee. If approved, I will share the first win and a short before-and-after with the team.
Thanks for considering,
[Your Name]
