Full-stack for doers: learn, apply, share.
Practical lessons · Reusable templates · Practitioner community
Modern organizations are full of smart people held back by slow, fragmented systems.
Training is outdated or scattered. Work drifts toward firefighting and slide-making, not decisions and outcomes.
GoFast.Finance reconnects the craft of finance: a place to learn how the whole system fits.
From getting the numbers right, to building clean workflows, to producing insights, to driving change.
The Idea
Finance should serve people, not the other way around.
Its purpose is to measure real value, guide better decisions, and help build a smarter, fairer economy.
Professionals deserve to be thinkers, not slide-makers: leading organizations with clarity instead of noise.
The Target
Rebuild finance learning around clarity, speed, and usefulness.
GoFast.Finance blends people, systems, and technology to turn learning into progress.
We help practitioners act with confidence, focus on what matters,
and use finance for good.
Short, applied lessons: examples, mini-cases, MCQs for insight. See how numbers, systems, processes connect to drive action.
Use ready-to-go templates, playbooks, and workflows. Automate repeatable work, fix bottlenecks, show measurable results fast.
Share openly, lead by example.
When practitioners trade what works, change spreads faster than hierarchy ever could.
Start anywhere.
This map shows how the core disciplines connect: how you set direction, drive performance, and create impact.
Direction · Foundation
Get the numbers right
Turn raw transactions into trusted numbers. Build controls, reconciliations, close routines. Keep statements clean, consistent, audit-ready. Explain results and the next right action.
Peformance · Foundation
Set targets that drive action
Set budgets and forecasts teams actually use. Link targets to behavior, cost, risk. Use variances to course-correct, not blame. Run performance reviews that adapt plans fast.
Impact · Foundation
Fuel growth with capital
Understand cash, capital structure, funding. Model investments, returns, value creation. Connect market signals to business decisions. Balance growth, risk, and liquidity over time.
Direction · Enablement
Tell the story clearly
Turn analysis into clear, concise stories. Standardize definitions, KPIs, cadences. Write slides and reports leaders absorb fast. Free time for discussion, not re-explaining.
Performance · Enablement
Make the work flow
See how functions create value together. Navigate org roles, handoffs, and decisions. Build strong finance partnerships across the chain. Shape ERP and tools around real work.
Impact · Enablement
Turn data into decisions
Model reliable datasets from messy sources. Use SQL and Power BI basics. Apply governance so numbers stay consistent. Build visuals that lead straight to decisions.
Direction · Transformation
Point the way, make it stick
Define clear, realistic goals and direction. Turn strategy into roadmaps, budgets, milestones. Align roles, resources, and rhythms. Keep execution learning, adjusting, moving forward.
Performance · Transformation
Deliver results, repeatedly
Use Lean Six Sigma to fix processes. Define, measure, and understand the problem. Find root causes, design simple improvements. Win buy-in so teams own the change.
Impact · Transformation
Augment humans with machines
Standardize tasks before you automate. Design prompts, checks, and fallback paths. Use low-code tools and copilots safely. Free human time for judgment and collaboration.
Reality over theory. Challenge ideas, keep what works.

I’m Arnaud Lemaire, CPA, CMA, and Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. I’ve spent my career in finance and operations: leading teams, improving processes, and building systems to make work feel easier. But everywhere I went, the same story repeated: talented people trapped in complexity, slowed by politics, doing too much that mattered too little.
I built this platform so you don’t have to start from zero or figure it out alone. It’s a space to learn faster, share what works, and turn experience into progress: for yourself, your team, and the community around you. Hopefully, you’ll rediscover what finance can really do when it serves people, organizations, and the world beyond them.

Finance professionals and anyone who wants practical, full-stack skills (numbers, process, systems, data, leadership) taught in context.
Access to starter lessons, selected templates, and the community so you can try the approach before paying.
Start free. Then choose paid courses or an all-inclusive monthly plan you can cancel anytime.
Yes and more. Exams are covered, but the focus is applied learning for real work. If you choose to certify, you’ll progress faster because you already practice the skills.
Certification paths work with about 30 minutes per day.
For everything else, 1–3 hours per week is enough to learn a concept, apply a template, and share a win.
