How it works

One problem, one build, about 20 minutes.

Nothing to install and nothing to buy. You send the problem, we do the building.

    You send a problem

    Comment on LinkedIn or use the form. One line is enough.

    We pick one

    The one most finance teams will recognize.

  3. 03 · Mon to Tue

    We build it

    A working fix on made-up data, so nothing confidential goes on screen.

    We show it live

    Then the episode gets its own page with the video and the build guide.

Questions

What people ask about the Finance Speedrun.

What is the Finance Speedrun?

A free weekly live show from MCC. Finance teams send an FP&A problem, we pick one a week, build a working fix on made-up data and walk through it live on LinkedIn in about 20 minutes.

When is it live?

The first live is Thursday, November 5 at 11:00 am ET. After that it runs every Wednesday at 11:00 am ET on LinkedIn, starting November 11.

Is it free?

Yes. Watching, sending a problem and getting the build guide are all free. If we pick yours, you pay nothing.

Do I have to share my company's data?

No. Every build uses made-up numbers, so nothing confidential goes on screen. You only describe the problem.

What tools do you use?

Excel, a planning platform like Vena, and AI to draft. A person signs off on every number.

Can you build it on our real data?

That's what MCC does for clients. Talk to us after the live.

Who hosts it?

Charlie Liu, co-founder and CEO of MCC, and Eugene Cheng, MCC's Chief Customer Officer.
