“The training was phenomenal. It talks to a laymen using jargon-free language. Everybody in business needs to understand the numbers provided to and for them to make their decisions.”

Mary Jensen, Business Strategist, M Power Services

“Chinmay, It was a pleasure learning finance from you. My children commented about how dry the class must have been but I corrected them as it definitely was not. You provided a new way of viewing the numbers with real world examples and applicable scenarios. Recently, I’ve been promoted to our Senior Leadership table to help bridge the operations side with the board and finance teams. The knowledge you imparted was a big part of that success.”
