Are you not good at numbers?

Tell a story!

Communication is key! Try to understand your target audience and what is important for them! Ask your audience questions about their daily obstacles and challenges.

Use communication skills to explain the reports to your colleagues, always keeping in mind that they need to understand what to change, maintain or omit in their business.

Communicate in a simple way. Finance and controlling are not complicated, the way it is taught and told is complicated.

If you are the owner of the company, make sure that your employees understand what your goals are, and how the numbers in the reports contribute to your business plan. Align reports with the entire company strategy – focus on that.

Finance reports should focus on simplifying the finance topics. Finance and reporting trainings should be fun and interactive. Choose examples from “real life” to bring finance closer to your employees or colleagues.
