Bespoke Training
with Real Impact.
While this website gives a flavour of the courses I offer, the thing I love most about my work is designing training that’s shaped around specific learning goals. Whether you’re after a one-off session or a broader programme, I can tailor my content to suit your people, your organisation and your ambitions.
Feel free to explore this website or get in touch with me directly and I’ll be happy to create something that really delivers for you.
AI is revolutionising the way we live and work by automating tasks, delivering insights and reshaping business. My courses enable accountants and business leaders to harness AI’s full potential while also tackling the ethical and governance challenges that are emerging.
Whether your goal is to be innovative, to increase efficiency or simply to demystify this technology, my courses will give you the knowledge and tools to harness AI effectively.
Digital Technology & Artificial Intelligence
AI presents a substantial threat to the accountancy profession, but it also creates exciting opportunities for those willing to change.
My courses are designed to help accountants and finance professionals adapt, grow and lead in the AI-powered world of tomorrow. You will be given practical tools to futureproof your career by understanding emerging technologies and developing business partnering skills to maximise your impact with clients and colleagues.
The Future of Accountancy & Finance
As accountants and finance professionals advance in their careers, strong leadership, communication and management skills become increasingly important.
If you have reached this point in your career, my courses will give you the insights you need to thrive. Whether you’re managing a team, presenting business cases, setting KPIs or stepping into a leadership role, these courses are full of practical exercises that you can translate easily to your job.
Business Strategy, Leadership & Management
Whether you’re a budget holder, line manager or business leader, these courses are the perfect way to unlock the insight hidden in your financial information and inform your decision-making.
The two one-day courses can be delivered independently or combined into a two-day course. The courses can be tailored to your own organisation’s financial statements, management accounts and budgets to make the learning even more practical and relevant.
