A law firm invited me to teach my financial statements class on two separate days to its whole Bank Finance team, to assist their understanding of financial covenants.

MARCH NEWS – EXECUTIVE SEARCH AGAIN

My big executive search firm client liked Finance Map so much that they have now booked my Navigating Financial Statements class as a follow-on.

https://www.etoncollege.com/newsarticle/financial-careers. Finance Map now has three school clients, I could manage one or two more.

JANUARY NEWS – NAVIGATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

I delivered my financial statements class twice in a week at an existing law firm client. Accounting taught by a non-accountant is unusual, but the lawyers seem to like it.

JANUARY NEWS – TRAINEES ANDS ASSOCIATES

I delivered the Finance Map class at three different law firms. One of them returned at last, after a gap of two-and-a-half years, and asked me to train their NQs.

My best ever month in this sector. I first returned to an existing client to teach a new hire, and then taught a full class for the first time in one of the world’s largest firms.

Ten different companies, including six regular law firms and my first very large executive search firm, have made bookings for early next year.

OCTOBER NEWS – NAVIGATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

I taught a businessman who often works with financial statements and wanted to sharpen his analysis skills. This second class of mine is now well refined and I believe highly effective.

Once again I taught Finance Map to senior members of one of the business services teams at a magic circle law firm – similar to associate lawyers, they find the content invaluable for their roles.

SEPTEMBER NEWS – NAVIGATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

My second class is now really working for more senior employees who are already working with financial statements, but just need a clear explanation of how they work and how to evaluate them.

SEPTEMBER NEWS – LAW FIRMS

Early in the month I taught consecutive classes in the London offices of three major US law firms. The 13 firms where I have taught this year are all in the world’s top 50.
