What is the Fixing the Monthly FI Marketing Report course about?

Every cycle, the same report breaks, data sources shift, definitions get questioned, and last-minute requests pile on. You end up manually reconciling spreadsheets, chasing approvals, and defending numbers instead of driving insight. This isn’t a strategy problem. It’s a repeat operational failure in a high-stakes function where consistency is compliance.
