Praise for the book “Winning CFOs” (the second edition)
Mr. Parmenter has created yet another fine management reference tool with his Winning CFOs book. It reveals how a CFO can be a better manager, and run an accounting and finance function that delivers world-class results. Highly recommended reading for the CFO who is committed to self-improvement. Steven M. Bragg, author of Accounting Best Practices
In this timely book, David Parmenter provides CFOs and their finance colleagues with a number of practical guidelines that will enable them to spend less time on the basic accounting routines and more time adding value and becoming a valued business partner. Jeremy Hope, author of Reinventing the CFO
The CFO can make a major contribution to value creation by the use of information focusing on the critical value drivers in the business. These practical tools and techniques will be invaluable to the busy CFO.

Praise for the “Lean Finance Team Processes” workshop
We attended David's course on “Winning Finance Teams” and we have had instant success with our Flash report. My Accounting team managed to get the flash report for November completed by 4.00pm on the second day. The workshop gave us the tools and the mindset to achieve this result. Ron Milne, General Manager Finance, Enware Australia Pty Ltd
The three main highlights for me from attending David Parmenter's “Winning CFO” were; David's tight and punchy delivery style, access to soft copy templates to customise and implement in my organisation, and breakout sessions at the end of each section. Amanda McPherson, Director of Finance, Melbourne Convention Exhibition Centre
One of our team members attended your lean finance team processes one-day workshop in Sydney and from that we have: reduced our monthly management report (approximately 30 pages) to the A3 report template from the course, shortened our month end process, run daily stand -up meetings (scrums) for those still involved in the month-end process. Kelly Simpson, Australian Financial Controller, Harcourts
These workshops are now available as recorded webinars, see www.davidparmenter.com for details.
Praise for David Parmenter's key note addresses
David Parmenter held a keynote speech and an in-depth session at our two main events (Copenhagen & Tampa, USA). He is a very inspiring speaker with some interesting topics on his agenda. He delivers his messages in a controversial and humoristic way. His session rated as number one among all speakers. Maj Nedergaard, Research & Campaign Manager, Targit
David Parmenter gave a key note address at our one-day Management Accounting Conference. The audience gave him the highest ratings with comments such as “Best speaker ever, thoroughly enjoyed it.” Jess Vailima, Conference Coordinator, New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants
The two presentations delivered at our annual conference were superb with a high degree of satisfaction from the attendees. Not only were the sessions entertaining they contained profound messages. The electronic templates that David provided attendees have been worth the attendee's conference fee! Carolyn Campbell-Wood, Chief Financial Officer, Australian Medicare Local Alliance
