Develop ethical discernment through real world business experiences, learning to do the right thing when confronted with pressure to bend accounting or profit targets.
Listen, repeat, and engage in two-way conversations to understand how a product's marketing and cost structures work, ask clarifying questions, and walk away smarter.
Compare how marketing evolves faster than courses, and recognize that MBA lessons may lag behind real-world strategies like online marketing; apply core concepts with a critical mindset.
Track the ever changing marketing landscape, from YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to current methods. Stay ahead by observing emerging strategies and keeping up with developing methods.
Learn why adopting an outgoing, A-type mindset helps salespeople lead customers toward a purchase and why introverted or B-type profiles face disadvantages in a competitive sales environment.
Freakonomics reveals real world economics through entertaining scenarios, helping learners apply supply and demand concepts beyond the classroom.
Learn to draw economic graphs, especially the supply and demand diagram, understand how shifts affect intersections and equilibria, and visualize market changes through quick graphing.
Navigate real world accounting pressures at month, quarter, and year ends by mastering closing schedules, journal entries, and reconciliations. Use checklists to meet deadlines and manage overtime.
Navigate time-intensive financial audits as external auditors review reconciliations, test requirements, and back-up data each quarter and at year-end, adding pressure to daily work.
Even robust ERP and accounting software cannot prevent data-entry errors like reversed debits and credits; learn to spot mistakes during month-end reconciliation using amounts and routine checks.
Recognize software isn't foolproof and prepare to dig for discrepancies when reconciling reports, tracking journal entries and aging data to align the general ledger with payables and receivables.
Explore the reality of finance roles as a 'wolf pack of one,' where one finance professional handles budgeting, analysis, and reporting for the entire company, often solo or from home.
Understand the bell curve, a fundamental statistics concept, including standard deviation and how many standard deviations away from the mean, with real-world business relevance.
Learn to act as an arbitrator for a team of ten, weighing deadlines and viewpoints to guide colleagues toward a productive, happy path.
Advancing in your career requires embracing management, leading a team, and honing people skills as you climb the corporate ladder toward roles like accounting manager, controller, or CFO.
Develop computer literacy for business by mastering computer information systems and essential software, from signing in to running reports in Excel and accounting programs.
Rely on your IT department to solve complex problems, and become proficient with your software and systems so you can handle common issues yourself, with IT backup when needed.

About The Instructor
Chris Benjamin, MBA & CFO is a seasoned professional with over 25 years experience in accounting and finance. Having spent the first 10 years of my career in corporate settings with both large and small companies, I learned a lot about the accounting process, managing accounting departments, financial reporting, external reporting to board of directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission, and working with external auditors.
The following 10+ years I decided to go into CFO Consulting, working with growing companies and bringing CFO level experience to companies. I help implement proper best business practices in accounting and finance, consult on implementation of accounting systems, implementing accounting procedures, while also still fulfilling the CFO roll for many of my clients which includes financial reporting, auditing, working with investors, financial analysis and much more.
