This year I was privileged to have a speaking slot at Accountex London on the 14th of May, on the FD Live stage.
I chose to call my session: "Everyone Hates Your Budgeting Process: Free Ways to Improve Your Next One" - basically a pile of tips and tricks that anybody can apply to their process, regardless of what system they're using.
The recording is below (32 minutes); from the Accountex London session guide:
"Does the planning process fill you with dread, as you attempt to rally the troops to take part in something you’re not even quite sure you believe in? Adam Rakich has seen more budgeting processes than you have, so in this session he will give you some zero investment, immediately actionable tips to make it more bearable – and maybe even a little enjoyable?
After this session you will be able to:
– Learn from the hubris of Jurassic Park
– Find unlikely allies in the business and build a minor empire
– Apply the philosophy of James Bond to budgeting and forecasting
And more!"
