Numbers Lie: Seeing the Hidden Game in Financial Reports

Hosted by Joel Block, CPA, CSP

nsa_Series_BBB_16_9__Numbers Lie

Everyone says, “Numbers don’t lie.” That’s nonsense. Numbers *lie ferociously.* They are twisted, polished, and dressed up to tell the story that benefits the person presenting them— whether in your own business, in a sales pitch, or in financial reports you’re analyzing.

Join us as Joel Block shares how to break free from surface-level reasoning and decode the hidden truths behind the numbers, with the “TSA Method”: Think differently from other people, See and notice what others don’t, and Take actions that others won’t.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Spot manipulation in financials (yours and others’)
  • Identify the gaps between perception and reality
  • Flip the numbers to your advantage, instead of being played by them
  • Use high-limit questions to cut through the noise and get to the truth

Most people read numbers passively. Advantage Players® read them strategically. By the end of this talk, you’ll never look at a P&L, a pricing model, or a revenue projection the same way again. You’ll know where the bodies are buried—and how to use that insight to win.

Register below to join us on Wed., May 7 @ 12 p.m. ET for this upcoming BBB webinar.
