Finance Business Partner Training
Who is it for?
For individuals and small teams
We offer a new type of finance business partner training you’ve never seen before. We show your employees everything we learned in sales and marketing that we wish we’d known when we were finance directors.
With our options, you’ll build a full in-house training program for all levels, including Advance for analysts and managers, NEXTFD for future leaders. We ignite development plans, capability frameworks, video lessons, live Zoom workshops, insights psychometrics, and 1:1 coaching options. You can build the perfect academy with our training programs. And everything’s done online (with optional in-person). It’s easy and fast to roll out – you could literally start next week!

Andy has taken me & our team on a journey of self learning, enabling a transformation which has resulted in turning dull, low value information into insight and influence.
