Announcing an Exciting Opportunity for Accounting and Finance Professionals to…
Master Strategic Finance
This course shows you the skills and mindset needed to become a strategic advisor. The next course starts the 19th March 2025.
Are you an ambitious accounting or finance professional? Yes?
Strategic finance is a leadership and influencing skillset that can open the door to:
- Promotion to leadership roles.
- More influence in decision making.
- Increased salary and benefits.
What’s more, you can develop this skillset wherever you are in your career. And whether you work for an SME, a chartered accounting practice, not-for-profit, or corporate.
An Exciting Opportunity to Develop Strategic Finance Skills
Until now, opportunities to learn strategic finance have been rare.
There’s been a lack of coaching. Only some corporates have provided in-house training. Almost no SMEs have. And courses have tended to overlook the strategic mindset.
But this situation has just changed… with the launch of our training programme.

How Gaining Strategic Finance Skills Helped These Accountants
As one participant commented – “I started this course as an accountant, focusing on debits and credits. At the end of the course, I was thinking strategically, considering the whole entity ecosystem, and being more commercial. It helped me to be a bigger thinker”
Strategic finance skills have helped countless accountants and organisations.
For example, there’s the shy and introverted management accountant who became the financial controller of a well-known FMCG company.
There’s the not-for-profit Chief Executive who – along with their Finance Director – won a $450k technology grant. A grant that enabled them to re-design their client service offerings and deliver better customer service at a lower cost.
Then there’s the CFO who used strategic finance to help a business boost its growth rate from 20% to 30% a year. Which translated to an extra $ 1 million in annual revenue.
The CFO? The same person who created and coaches STRATEGIC FINANCE.
Another participant commented – “It helped immensely. Being able to relate my own workplace situation to the example company provided by Fiona meant I was able to improve our work procedures, particularly around data integrity and month end procedures. The course made me realise what I needed to have in terms of information to be able to think more strategically for the organisation.“
Created and Coached by a Chief Financial Officer
Strategic Finance is led by MacGregor Jamee’s director, Fiona Harnett.
Fiona’s background makes her uniquely qualified to do this.
Not only is she a Virtual CFO, but she has also completed an International Coach Federation-approved coach training programme.
Plus, she’s been where you are now. She’s risen from junior accountant to CFO. So, she knows what it takes to have a successful accounting career.
What previous participants have said about about the course and coaching sessions:
“Fiona is absolutely awesome and amazing coach, providing 100% valuable support and guidance with her expertise in understanding our organisation from both a helicopter view and a detailed view.“
“I found Fiona very passionate and keen to share her learnings with real life examples from her experience. Her breadth of experience clearly reflects in the examples and thoughtful slides / information she shared with us all. I found her style friendly yet professional. “
“Fiona is an outstanding coach – she is able to distil the information that she is given and reframe it back to you so that you can see it in a different light – something that is hard to do when you are in the thick of things. She also tells it as it is – you may not really want to hear it – but you need to!“
“Coaching sessions have allowed me to step back and see the bigger picture. Through coaching sessions, I have grown more confident in navigating the complexities of the organisation. It has empowered me to proactively seek out answers and see clarification where required.”
