Questions We Hear Regularly
These come directly from conversations with finance professionals considering automation education. Honest answers based on our experience since 2020.
Do I need programming experience?
Not for most positions. Contemporary financial automation relies more on understanding business logic and platform configuration than coding. That said, basic Excel formula comfort helps significantly, and some roles benefit from SQL knowledge. We start with no-code solutions and introduce technical elements gradually.
What if my company uses different software?
The principles translate across platforms. While our examples feature commonly-used systems like Xero, QuickBooks, and Power BI, the core concepts apply to any financial software stack. We teach methodology first, then specific tool implementation.
How much time commitment is realistic?
Most working professionals manage 8-12 hours per week including workshops and project work. The programs are designed around full-time schedules. Some accelerate through intensive periods, others prefer steady progress over longer timeframes.
Are job opportunities actually available?
Financial automation roles exist across industries, from small accounting firms to large corporations. However, we cannot guarantee employment outcomes. Market conditions, individual performance, and regional factors all influence opportunities. We focus on developing genuine skills rather than making placement promises.
