The Finance Copilot

A training made by a Finance Professional for Finance Professionals
I am Soufyan Hamid and with my 17 years of experience in Finance, FP&A, Audit and Consulting, I've seen the same things as you
-
Prepared the same reporting
-
Delivered the same presentations
-
Worked on the same budgets and forecast
​
But one thing changed my career: Financial Storytelling
​
I looked for ways to improve my presentations and followed training about (data) storytelling, delivered a TEDx talk and joined the Toastmasters.
​
That made me realize how the gap was important between Finance and the other departments in mutual understanding.
​
So I decided to work on the most important aspects of this mutual understanding to create a program allowing a better collaboration, communication and problem-solving mindset.
​
This "bridging-the-gap" strategy allows a strong collaboration between Finance and Non-Finance
