Q&A for busy people.
What is it? • How does it work? • How do I join?
Understand what GoFast.Finance is, who it is for, and why the model is different.
GoFast.Finance is a practitioner-first learning and enablement platform for finance professionals.
We link finance, process excellence, and analytics so people can reduce recurring busywork and improve decision quality.
The platform has two layers:
Verified rails: structured courses and work assets you can trust for real work.
Open personalization layer: public course notebooks and a public GoFast GPT to help you learn faster.
“Full-stack finance” means you see the whole system, not just the numbers.
You learn how transactions become reports, how workflows and controls run, how systems shape behavior, and how analysis turns into decisions and change. Finance, process excellence, and data are treated as one connected craft.
Mainly for:
Controllers, management accountants, FP&A, and finance business partners
Finance analysts, cost analysts, and project controllers
Ops, supply chain, and plant leaders who want to “speak finance” better
Data, analytics, and transformation roles working closely with finance teams
You do not need a fancy title. You just need to care about numbers, decisions, and how work actually runs.
Key differences:
Work-first by design: built around real cycles, decisions, and failure modes
Verified rails: less doubt when you apply learning at work
Open personalization: you can use public notebooks and the public GoFast GPT with mainstream AI tools
Tool-agnostic: patterns you can adapt to your stack, not vendor lock-in
Honest about limits: AI is not presented as the authority
Fair pricing as a principle, not a temporary discount
We ship area by area. The Courses page shows what is live now.
As the catalog grows:
Members get access to new content in their tier while their membership is active
A la carte purchases (when offered) include updates to the purchased item
The community is how we collect real needs and improve what gets built next
A simple rule:
New to a topic: start with a free Intro course
Need a fast win at work: pick a Short course for one workflow
Own the process end to end: go Medium, then Long
Studying for a certification: use the CertPrep track for your exam
What you get inside courses, how depth works, and how CertPrep and CPE are handled.
Each area follows a consistent depth ladder:
Intro: foundations and orientation
Short: focused workflows you can apply quickly
Medium: deeper ownership and end-to-end execution
Long: bigger systems, operating models, and leadership-level design
CertPrep: exam-aligned tracks where a flagship certification exists
Non-cert courses have fixed lesson counts:
Intro: 3 lessons
Short: 6 lessons
Medium: 9 lessons
Long: 12 lessons
Lesson videos are designed to be short and reusable, so you can fit learning into real weeks.
Paid rails are not “more content.” They are “less doubt.”
Paid rails typically include:
Video lessons with worked examples
Verified notes and cheat sheets
Practice with explanations and solution logic
Work assets such as templates, files, and implementation checklists
CertPrep paid rails also add exam-focused drill systems and structured review.
Work comes first.
Lessons start from real situations: close chaos, budget conflicts, unclear ownership, data trust issues, confusing reports. Theory is included when it helps you execute better.
You will see common tools such as Excel, Power BI, and ERP or planning stacks. The goal is to teach patterns you can adapt. Tool-heavy courses are clearly labeled.
Resources are work assets, for example:
Templates and calculators
Checklists, diagnostics, and playbooks
Practice packs and communication kits
Some starter resources are free. Deeper resources follow the same access rules as paid courses.
CertPrep is built directly from the official exam blueprint, with coverage maps and original practice.
Independent project. Not affiliated with any certification body. Trademarks belong to their owners. Always check the current information published by the certification body.
Not yet for official CPE.
Some paid courses are planned to be CPE-ready once provider status is confirmed. Until then, we do not claim official CPE credits. Each course page will state the current status.
We may add simple completion confirmations over time, but they are not positioned as an external credential.

How to use the public AI companions safely, what you can share, and what stays private.
No.
The verified rails stand on their own. The open personalization layer is optional and meant to accelerate learning and application.
If you use AI tools, you bring your own accounts and stay in control of what you share.
Public assets include:
A NotebookLM notebook for every course
A public GoFast GPT
They are designed for Q&A, alternative explanations, and extra practice. They are not positioned as authoritative.
Yes, for personal learning and internal work support.
This does not grant redistribution rights. Keep it private and follow your employer’s AI policy.
Do not paste sensitive company data into public AI tools.
Remove names, identifiers, contract terms, and non-public figures. When in doubt, keep it generic.
AI tools can be wrong or incomplete. For compliance, contracts, tax, payroll, regulatory reporting, and company policy decisions, always verify.
Free content is meant to be shareable for non-commercial learning with attribution.
Paid content is not redistributable. Membership and a la carte purchases give access, not redistribution rights. If you want a team-wide setup, contact us and we will discuss options.
No.
GoFast.Finance provides education and enablement. It does not provide audit opinions, legal advice, tax advice, or HR decisions. For regulated or high-stakes decisions, verify with qualified professionals and your company policies.
