English for Professional Finance

You know the numbers. You know the grammar. But on a fast call with an American CEO, a skeptical audit partner or an angry customer, the right words don't always come quickly, and sometimes you don't catch what people say.

English for Professional Finance, Book 1: Core Skills is a practical B2-C1 course for non-native speakers who work in accounting, audit, FP&A and finance leadership. Every unit is set inside one fictional US software company, through year-end close, audits, covenants, revenue recognition, investor updates and board meetings.

Inside you'll find:

• 27 units and 4 checkpoints, each built around a real finance conversation
• A named communication skill in every unit, such as BLUF, The Helpful No, The Pre-Mortem and Pause, Choose, Return
• Grammar you already know, used accurately, plus a C1 level-up structure in every unit
• Sound Lab listening practice that decodes fast American speech ("Didja tell'im?") before you meet it on a call
• Role-plays with realistic push-back for a partner or an AI tutor, writing tasks, answer keys and model answers
• A grammar and skills map and an index of more than 450 key phrases

Written by a finance director who started as a Big Four auditor and learned English as a second language. Continue with Book 2: Leading the Conversation.
