Common problems for finance professionals
If English isn’t your first language and you need to present financial results, you’ve probably experienced one or more of these:
“My boss wants me to start presenting the results in English - I'm worried because I have no idea how to do it!”
“I panic when I have to explain the results in front of a group of people.”
"My English vocabulary feels too basic compared to my colleagues."
“I'm too busy to study English consistently.”
“I struggle to progress professionally because of my limited English.”
These challenges don’t just impact your confidence, they affect how you’re perceived in meetings, your ability to influence decisions, and your long-term career opportunities.
But here’s the good news: these obstacles can be overcome using a proven step-by-step process.
After helping hundreds of finance professionals, I learned that real improvement depends on three important elements:
1. A clear and efficient way to learn, even if you're busy
2. A simple structure to explain financial results clearly
3. The right words to sound professional and confident in English
When these three elements are in place, and are taught in the correct order, everything changes, and that’s exactly what this course is designed to deliver.

Using my 10 years of experience as a CPA in Australia, I decided to build the course “Describing Financial Performance in English”.
This four hour focused course was designed to give busy finance professionals the tools they need to describe how their business performed, in the minimum amount of time possible.
This course teaches students the key concepts, frameworks and vocabulary so you can "tell the financial story” of your company and add significant value to your organisation!
After three years of testing this methodology, I found that once students had the right tools, they became more confident because they could clearly and concisely explain their business results. This led to them speaking up more in meetings, gaining visibility, and opening doors to new opportunities.
