How I Help

Finance FIT is designed to help finance teams in various organisations move from just being capable of doing their jobs to being strategic contributors by bringing faster insight, stronger commercial partnership, and clearer decision support across the organisation. Finance FIT focuses on three key areas:
  • Moving your finance team beyond producing reports to becoming forward-looking, commercial contributors who help shape the decisions that matter.
  • Strengthening finance teams' influence across the organisation by improving the team's ability to align financial insight with the real needs of decision-makers at every level.
  • Building finance teams' capacity for sustained, high-level performance without relying on constant pressure.

Finance teams that participate in Finance FIT make these shifts; they don’t just work harder. They work with greater purpose, greater influence, and greater impact.

Looking for ongoing development once the session is over? See how I work with Finance Teams over time to embed the change and keep building capability.

How Finance FIT Works

Finance FIT is delivered as a keynote or workshop, tailored to your organisation’s needs. This framework comes in three formats, namely:
  • 30-Minute Keynote: A high-impact introduction to the Finance FIT framework, perfect for conferences and leadership events.
  • 60-Minute Keynote: A deeper exploration of the Finance FIT framework, bringing practical examples to life and giving leaders space to reflect.
  • Half-Day Workshop: A facilitated leadership session that builds on the keynote and moves into application. Participants explore how the Finance FIT framework applies to their specific context.
  • Full-Day Workshop: An immersive leadership experience that goes beyond the framework. This session combines Finance FIT with leadership reflection and behavioural insight where appropriate.

What our clients say...

"Melanie has a rare ability to articulate something that many of us have felt but never been able to name. The Finance FIT framework gave our leadership team a shared language to talk about how we want finance to show up — and a clear direction for how to get there."
CFO, Financial Services Organisation
"The Fiance FIT workshop was genuinely thought-provoking. It challenged the way we'd always assumed finance should operate and opened up conversations we'd been putting off for too long. Melanie's depth of experience in finance and leadership made every part of it feel relevant and real."
Finance Director, Professional Services Firm
"We brought Melanie in to speak at our annual leadership conference, and the response was outstanding. The Finance FIT keynote landed perfectly with our audience: practical, insightful, and immediately applicable. We've already had requests to bring her back for a full workshop."
Head of Learning & Development, Corporate Organisation
