Finance & Accounting Roadmap

Here’s how to think about your finance and accounting roadmap.

Too many finance pros overlook the essentials.

And more leaders are realizing this.

Because think about it—

If you’re building a career in finance, and I offered you a choice between…

1. Mastering Financial Theory, Analysis, and Corporate Finance
2. Only knowing Budgeting and Forecasting basics

…you’d probably pick the first option every time. Why?

Because deep finance skills allow you to drive business growth and make data-backed decisions that matter.

But just knowing the basics?

I mean 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 it’ll get you a role, but much less consistently than the sure bet of being an all-round finance expert.

So, if your roadmap looks like…

1. Just focusing on Accounting Basics (without understanding Financial Theory)
2. Ignoring skills in Risk Management and Compliance
3. Overlooking tools like Excel, FP&A, and BI software

…you can absolutely still work in finance.

But you might also miss out on opportunities to lead, influence, and drive growth.

So, if you want my advice:

Use this roadmap that prepares you for the future.
