Behind every successful organization, there's a great financial manager …
Your job as your organization's controller means that it's up to you to juggle people, projects, finances, budgets, and purchases … not to mention other critical duties like staying on top of state and federal regulatory agency requirements, providing complex financial data at a moment's notice, and overseeing the financial policies and direction of your organization.
Managers, CEOs, CFOs, investors, and company stakeholders — all depend on the accurate financial data, forecasting, analysis, and reporting that controllers provide.
How can you work more effectively? Do your job more efficiently? How do other controllers at some of today's largest organizations manage their myriad of responsibilities (while keeping their sanity!)? What are the latest and greatest "best practices" you can adopt to make your own job easier?
The Controller's Workshop  is an intensive, fast-paced look at how to improve your day-to-day job performance by working smarter — not harder or longer (you already put in enough hours in a day!). You'll discover an incredible amount of information, ideas, how-to's, and tools for improving your accounting team's performance, enhancing your financial reporting skills, maintaining successful internal controls, monitoring cash flow, controlling costs, and much, much more.

No more blame games, "it's not my job" attitudes or finger-pointing. Managers will learn how to empower employees to take responsibility!
Help your employees experience the satisfaction of taking ownership, not just of their jobs, but of the organization as a whole. Establish a culture of accountability in which all employees, from the CEO to entry-level employees, accept responsibility for their own success and for their role in the success of the entire organization.
You've experienced the frustration and irritation of dealing with emotionally detached employees who are not invested in the organization's bottom line. These staffers show up at the last possible minute, do the bare minimum, and head home the second the clock hits quitting time. Next thing you know, the employees you wish you could clone - the core group that works hard and takes full responsibility for every decision - gets infected with the "negativity virus" and morale plummets.
Stop the negativity before it brings down productivity and morale!
