This is a gameplan, but working with a coach to execute on this is where we offer by far the most leverage. I hope this resource is a great kickstarter for you and gives you much better line of sight into what this process holds..

How to Master the Art of Data Science in Accounting | Google PM [6/1/2026] (Recording)

“Accounting is no longer just about reconciliations and reporting. It’s becoming increasingly driven by data.” Today’s accounting professionals are expected to do far more than traditional accounting work. As finance and accounting teams become more data-driven, professionals with technical skills like SQL, automation, and data analysis are gaining a major advantage in both the job market and the workplace. In this workshop, I share practical, real-world strategies for applying data science concepts within accounting workflows to improve efficiency, automate repetitive processes, and support stronger business decision-making.

Through real examples, attendees will learn how SQL is used in accounting environments to analyze financial data, validate transactions, and support reporting processes. We’ll also break down common SQL use cases in accounting, including reconciliations, variance analysis, data validation, and operational reporting, while discussing how accounting teams increasingly rely on data querying to make informed decisions. The session also explores database migration concepts and how system changes can impact accounting reporting and SQL scripts. Attendees will learn the fundamentals of how data moves across systems, why migrations create reporting challenges, and how accounting professionals can adapt their processes and workflows during transitions. We’ll also cover how to organize, clean, and analyze large datasets in Excel to support accounting decisions more effectively. In addition, the workshop dives into accounting automation use cases, including how accountants leverage SQL and process automation tools to reduce manual work, improve accuracy, and create more scalable workflows. This workshop is designed for students and professionals who want to strengthen their technical skillset, better understand the intersection of accounting and data science, and prepare for the future of the accounting profession. Across finance and accounting teams, one trend continues to accelerate: professionals who understand both accounting and data are becoming increasingly valuable. RSVP today. Space is limited.
