Course Overview

FP&A mastery is the premier membership for high-achieving finance professionals

FP&A mastery is the ability to make good, defensible judgments about finance-related decisions, even in the face of high stakes and ambiguity. Leaders who exemplify FP&A mastery skills work at amazing corporations and rapidly-growing entrepreneurial companies.

A common misconception around these finance skills is that they’re something you either have or you don’t and they take many years to attain.

…but that’s not true.

In reality, you can significantly improve your financial planning & analysis (FP&A) influence + critical and strategic thinking ability by reframing your mindset and mastering a handful of core skills: business modeling, financial analysis, empathy and partnership, and effective communication.

The best FP&A professionals don’t think like analysts. They think like advisors. They’re higher-level thinkers. They understand how their insights connect to what others care about. And they’re masterful communicators. They don’t refer to themselves as masters, but they’re always in pursuit of mastery.

People who level up their FP&A technical and non-technical ability tend to get selected for better projects that are more interesting and challenging than those their peers get assigned to. Directors know these exceptional people can handle it and shine. When they succeed, they’re more likely to get promotions, higher pay, and even more exciting opportunities. Work is far more enjoyable and less frustrating because they’re now more capable, confident, and positive. This leads to a more inspiring career and a fulfilling life.

Influence through finance is a skill that can be rapidly developed by changing how you think through learning, application, practice, and ongoing support. This isn’t wishful thinking. This is reality for those who are committed to their own growth.

FP&A MASTERY SIGNATURE PROGRAM OVERVIEW:

In this practical course — full of examples, exercises, templates, models, discussions, and implementation — you will learn and apply the frameworks and techniques of high-performing corporate finance practitioners. We explore dozens of instances of financial models, Excel techniques, analyses, reports, and dashboards to assess what makes them exceptional (or not).

Everything is delivered live, with recordings available to rewatch later (or in some cases, prior cohort videos shared in advance if you’re eager to accelerate). Every hour we meet will challenge you to reflect about finance, modeling, empathy, and communication in ways that most finance people never do in their careers. You will be a live witness to your own transformation of environmental- and self-awareness, experiencing a complete augmentation of how you think.

WHAT IS THE STRUCTURE OF THE PROGRAM:

Whether you learn best through live discussions, on-demand lectures, interactive exercises, real-life business cases and simulations, or peer-to-peer community, the FP&A Mastery Signature Program is a comprehensive hybrid (live AND go-at-your-pace) development experience. It’s the premier membership for financial professionals who want a clearer pathway and more experiential learning for their next level of growth.

It’s built for high-performing finance professionals like you.

Frequently Asked Questions

No problem. While you are encouraged to attend live sessions — as a great part of the experience is both the live-reveals and the participant interaction — all sessions are recorded and may be accessed on your own time.

The experience is intentionally spaced out — 2 days each week over many weeks — so you can work your schedule around it.

There may be occasional pre-work and post-session work but it is minimal.

Because all sessions are recorded, you can revisit topics and discussions on your own schedule.

It is not customary for us to receive requests for refunds. However, if you are dissatisfied with your experience, please reach out to our customer service team so we can ensure you receive the value you expect.

I offer more than a dozen training programs and immersive development experiences across a wide range of finance and accounting topics. 

Here are the other programs I offer.

This program is designed for finance professionals who want the most comprehensive, connected experience, community, and results.

We meet live on Zoom for 2 hours, 2x per week.

Each session consists of 1-2 learning topics and modules. Each module ties into prior and future modules, so it is important to try to avoid missing classes or watched recordings.

The structure of the session begins with an intro, a tie-in to a real example, exercises, discussion, and reflections.

Prerequisites for the course include the following:

  • You should have a basic-to-intermediate understanding of Microsoft Excel
  • You should have a current version (2016 or later) of Microsoft Excel, ideally (though not necessary) on a PC.
  • You should have at least an basic understanding of accounting and finance concepts.

No, but I will offer you my promises.

Everyone who attends this experience will have different backgrounds and aspirations which means they have different business models or jobs.

My promise is to share with you my techniques, tools, and processes that will accelerate your finance career and make you far more confident in what you do

Yes. You get all of the template models, clean and completed.

Yes, it qualifies for 56.0 CPE credits.

Seidman Financial is registered with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as a sponsor of continuing professional education on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors. State boards of accountancy have final authority on the acceptance of individual courses for CPE credit.

Most on-demand courses teach steps for plugging numbers into basic models. They don’t teach the nuances that you’re likely to encounter across a wide range of instances. And most course trainers don’t come from FP&A and CFO backgrounds.

According to alumni, this is the best FP&A course curriculum available.

While students can enroll in any course individually, the FP&A Mastery Signature Program is designed as the most comprehensive, high-value, learning experience in the FP&A space.

Students are encouraged to get the most complete experience versus enrolling in each course one at a time.
