Square spreadsheets for a round world.
What is a nerd?
Anyone who has lots of specialized knowledge.
On any subject.
I used to think it was just accountants and technology people who struggled to communicate.
But I have discovered that what makes someone a nerd (which I see as a compliment) is his level of immersion in a subject. It is his fascination, his passion, his investment in training, studying and learning , his willingness to follow the mating habits of the "tufted titmouse" that turns an ordinary bird watcher into a nerd. It is that very same level of immersion that makes it hard for the rest of us to understand what he is talking about.
What I offer is a bridge. A filter. A way to mold that volume of incredible insight into something that resonates with the receiver of the information. It can be written messaging or webinars, a whitepaper or a live presentation but the issue is the same. Connecting to an audience.
This website is designed to share the insights I discover in my own quest to communicate accounting and technology subjects in a new and entertaining way. My personal nerd tendencies learn heavily towards Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, pens, software tools, and anything that involves Math.
Financial Statements are a personal passion. Most people just don't understand them. As an accountant, that means the bulk of what our profession produces is not valued by its intended audience. Some people confuse good communication skills with good animation. But converting that financial statement from a printed report to 40 PowerPoint slides does nothing to improve the meaning or value of the information. Boring information on paper equals boring information on slides. And unintelligible data is still unitelligible when you add cutesy clipart on the side. (Hence the video below.)
If you need a translator, are looking for an angle, want to connect financial statements with wine or gerbil workouts with technology I might be able to help.
