A course on the numbers that get talked about at work. They are the same in every business. You learn what they mean, how to read them, and how to use them to make more money and move up.
The numbers are the same in every business. Learn them once and they go with you to every job.
Before you dive in - it’s important to know that our goal is to get this paid for by your employer. So as you read, decide how valuable and effective this will be for you in your current role and we have all the resources you need to ask your employer to pay for it.
How your company pays →Revenue, margin, variance, accrual. The words go past you in the meeting and you don’t want to ask. That is not an intelligence problem. Nobody ever showed you how money moves through a company, so the numbers have nothing to attach to.
The next level expects you to truly understand the numbers.
Manager and beyond means you don’t just read the numbers. You own them, and you defend them.
That sounds like a lot. It isn’t, once somebody draws you the picture. I’ve spent twenty years finding the ways this actually lands, and that is the whole job of this course.
Every session is ready when you are. There’s no class to show up for and no cohort to keep up with.
Each session is me teaching in short chapters, then you working it yourself with the coach. Eight hours of each across the six sessions.
The Boss is the build at the end: real numbers for your role, worked by you and sent in. The coach reads it and tells you what to fix.
Six sessions, sixteen hours, 60 days of access. Long enough to finish, short enough that you do.
Talk it through with the coach, any hour. Still stuck? Email me. You can always reach me.
Marketing, HR, Ops, Sales, Finance or Product. Pick yours, and switch any time — nothing locks.
By the end you can read them, explain them out loud, and say what to do about them.
All of it on your role’s own numbers.
Get on the list. The first offer goes to the people on it, and so does the reference letter.
AI can produce a report in ten seconds. It cannot tell your boss what the report means, and it cannot tell you when it’s wrong. The people who understand how the numbers work are the ones AI makes more valuable, not less.
So I teach it. Easy, practical ways to use AI for real work you could do tomorrow. And the part that matters more: how to know, fast, whether what it handed you is even right.
It’s an AI coach. I cloned my own voice and handed it the entire curriculum, every practice file, and 20 years of my finance opinions. You talk, it talks back.
I’ve spent twenty years finding the ways this stuff actually lands for people who never got it in school. The coach has every one of them, at 11pm, as many times as you need. Nobody is judging you. Nobody is bored of the question.
The raise you stopped waiting for someone to offer you.
The gap you explain in one line, before anyone asks.
The budget you build and defend, line by line.
The person who explains the year and asks for what comes next.
The Excel Lab is the tool. Numbers at Work is the game the tool is played in. The Stack is both.
The 20% of Excel that actually matters, taught as one connected system — so it finally sticks. This is the “tool” part of making more money.
See the Excel Lab →Everyone else gives you a certificate. I read your actual work.
I taught business at a college — youngest they ever hired — and I’ve spent twenty years in finance since. I’m not telling you that to impress you. I’m telling you because you’re about to pick someone to learn this from, and you should know who’s actually on the other end.
And yes I’m grading your actual work and signing your personal reference letter if you truly learn what I teach you.
It comes out of a training budget, like a conference does. I’ll invoice your company directly, or you expense it with a proper invoice. I’ll even write the request for your manager. How it works →
Payment plans at checkout. Same price, spread out.
Watch the first three chapters of The Whiteboard — about 45 minutes — then I ask you point-blank. Out — full refund, every dollar. In — we finish what we started, and refunds are off the table.
No — it’s built for people whose jobs touch the numbers without being about the numbers. Marketing, ops, sales, HR, product. You pick your department and the course meets you there.
Most courses open with a glossary. This one opens with numbers you already recognise — by the time the vocabulary shows up, you already know the thing it’s pointing at.
No. This course is about the numbers, not the tool. If you want both, that’s exactly what the Stack is for.
The Excel Lab is the tool. This is the game the tool is played in — the numbers themselves. The Stack is both.
Recorded. Every session is ready when you are, so you go at your own pace. The coach is there any hour, and you can email me any time.
Sixteen hours in all across six sessions: eight of me teaching, eight of you working it with the coach. Spread over the 60 days, that’s about two hours a week.
Pick the closest one. Nothing locks, so you can work another role’s numbers any time. The numbers are the same in every business.
The whole Excel Lab, Cash Money, the “Accounting for Cool People” cheatsheet, and the Final Boss — the one I read myself, with the reference letter if you earn it.
Usually, yes. It comes out of a training budget, like a conference does. I’ll invoice your company directly, or you expense it with a proper invoice — and I’ll write the request for your manager. Here’s how it works.
The doors aren’t open yet. The first offer goes to the people on this list, and so does the reference letter: my read of your final work, with my signature on it.
Capacity is real, and it goes to whoever was here first.
When the doors open, your invite comes with the request for your manager, already written.
