“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.”
“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.”
The program was invaluable. It made me understand that my decisions can impact the bottom line of our company. It has empowered me to confidently have conversations with higher management
“Overall, excellent presentation, online materials, accessible references, and structured course with real-life experiences. More importantly, the level of professionalism, knowledge & patience you consistently demonstrated was astounding. Thanks for all YOU do.”
