In this episode, Simon talks to Tejas Parikh, the finance planning and analysis transformation specialist. He's got a finance background, he's commercially minded and in love with technology.

Tejas is the founder and lead consultant at his very own consulting business, Akshar Business Consulting. Tejas has worked with a diverse range of companies, including GE Healthcare, Vodafone, Unilever and more. In this episode, he shares some fabulous stories about his life and experience in finance. Posting depreciation journals where the asset balances went up. 🤯 That's a geeky accounting joke because depreciation takes asset balances down not up. 🤓 Yeah that's right. 😆🤙

We talks about how to be good in FP&A, and finance in general, it's about working smarter and not harder. Embrace tech to do the hard work for you. The best way to get promoted is to create more bandwidth by automating as much as possible so you can get into the business strategy.

He shares his power pose memory, creating an investor paper in record time and dancing around the office in London. He also shares some of his FP&A rules and top tips like anything which takes more than 45 minutes can and should be automated. And if you don't learn today, you're gonna have a disaster tomorrow.

Tejas is one of the most energetic and charismatic people I've ever spoken to. And I know you're gonna enjoy this episode and I hope you'll be laughing along with us.

ENJOY!
