Course Description

This full day course provides over 400 useful and unusual tips for accountants in financial leadership. The tips are illustrated through concrete examples derived from practical experience. As a finance leader, you are expected to be able to deal with a myriad of issues and situations. You have your experience and what you learned from colleagues and mentors, but this course will provide you with many more veteran tips, including many unconventional ones. You won’t find these tips in courses or text books, but you’ll be able to use many of them. Value will also be derived from the sharing of experiences and practices by the participants. This seminar “grows” continuously as new tips are added from past participants. It provides specific opportunities for bench-marking some practices with those of your peers. Over 9,000 accountants have attended this seminar which is the companion course to Practical Tips for Controller & CFOs – The Case Course. The seminar was created and is presented by an experienced CFO, with extensive real-life insight.
