It’s funny how things shift over time. A year ago, I was knee-deep in technical SyteLine^® projects—building dynamic Excel and Power BI reports, learning new coding tricks, merging external data with SyteLine^® output. And I loved every minute of it. That kind of challenge lights me up.

If you’d asked me then, I would’ve said: this is the core of what I do.

But 2025 kicked off with a pivot. Not a strategic one—more of a natural, unexpected return to what started this journey in the first place.

Lately, I’ve been working with clients who aren’t asking for fancy automation or advanced analytics. They’re asking for training. Clarity. Confidence. A firm grasp of SyteLine^® finance basics.

And let me tell you—the basics matter.

Some teams are struggling not because they lack skill or motivation, but because no one ever taught them what SyteLine^® could do. The systems weren’t set up for finance. The consultants didn’t speak the language. And now these smart, capable teams are left trying to piece it all together.

It’s frustrating. It’s avoidable. And it’s exactly why I do what I do.

So consider this a reminder—and a preview. Over the next few weeks, I’m launching a Back to Basics series. We’ll walk through the most overlooked SyteLine^® finance fundamentals, together. If your team missed out on good training during implementation, or if you're onboarding new staff and realize there’s a knowledge gap—this series is for you.
