ABOUT FINANCE MAP

JANUARY NEWS – VISIT TO ETON COLLEGE

I delivered a shortened version of my class to 12 pupils at Eton, which is described on their website:
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.

JANUARY NEWS – EXECUTIVE SEARCH

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.

DECEMBER NEWS – BOOKINGS FOR 2019

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

DECEMBER NEWS – STUDENTS WANTING WORK IN FINANCE

The Christmas vacation has brought me the usual students seeking jobs and internships, in one-on-one sessions at our house.

DECEMBER NEWS – SEVEN SESSIONS OVER SEVEN WEEKS

I completed my seven Navigating Financial Statements classes for a single company, explaining accounting to non-accountants dealing with financial statements.

DECEMBER NEWS – INDIVIDUAL INVESTOR TUTORIALS

Three more separate individuals met with me in the month with the aim of better understanding their personal wealth investment activities.

NOVEMBER NEWS – COMMERCIAL PROPERTY PROFESSIONALS

Three Finance Map classes were delivered during the month to the commercial team at a top UK property consultant.

NOVEMBER NEWS – FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR LAWYERS

I taught my financial statements class to lawyers at a major firm, and they have booked two more sessions for early 2019.

OCTOBER NEWS – STUDENT INSIGHT DAY

I taught a 90 minute version of my class to about 20 undergraduates at an Insight Day in London arranged by a top wealth management firm.

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.

OCTOBER NEWS – MORE SENIOR LAWYERS

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.

AUGUST NEWS – TWO CLASSES IN A DAY

I taught twice in one day at my most regular law firm client – 13 trainees in the morning and 13 in the afternoon.

AUGUST NEWS – EXECUTIVE SEARCH FIRM

A focused class for just two individuals. Given the number of financial clients, surely this sector should be using Finance Map more?

AUGUST NEWS – FINANCIAL INSTITUTION CLIENT

I taught the new intake at a major financial institution client. Finance Map with these clients works best on the trainees’ first day at the firm.

AUGUST NEWS – CLASS OF 27

I taught a class of 27 at one of the world’s top three law firms. “The feedback was excellent as always…”

JULY NEWS – KIND COMMENT TO ME

This comment was made to me during the half time break of the “Finance Map” class at a prestigious financial institution: “I could sit and listen to you all day”.
