Ever feel like your crucial financial analysis gets lost in translation? You're not alone. In this episode of FinPod's "What's New at CFI", we sit down with Paul Barnhurst, famously known as The FP&A Guy, to discuss his new CFI course: "Crafting the Narrative: Storytelling with Data."

Paul reveals why simply presenting numbers is no longer enough to get buy-in and advance your career. He shares why the ability to transform data into a compelling story is the most valuable skill a finance professional can have today.

Key takeaways from our discussion include:

  • The Power of a Narrative: Discover the difference between a simple report and a persuasive story that includes key insights and a clear call to action.
  • The "What, So What, Now What" Framework: Learn a powerful, time-tested framework for building a message that moves decision-makers to action.
  • Structuring Your Presentations: Find out why planning your narrative is more important than building your slides, and how this one shift can make your presentations far more impactful.
  • Case Studies in Action: Get a sneak peek into the course's practical scenarios, including how to tell the story behind a missed earnings target or an acquisition proposal.
  • Presentation Pet Peeves: We both vent about our biggest presentation pet peeves and share tips for how you can avoid them.

If you've ever struggled to get your message across in a meeting or a deck, this episode and the new CFI course are for you. Learn how to level up your executive communication and craft narratives that get results.
