If you’ve ever sat in a meeting where finance felt like a foreign language, you’ve met the world that Count Jargon™ was born to fight.
Count Jargon™ is one of the key story guides in Once Upon a Balance Sheet, and part of the growing Financial Storyverse™ I’m building to make finance less intimidating, more human, and far more engaging.
In financial storytelling, who is Count Jargon™: Slayer of Jargon, Defender of Clarity?
He is more than just a character. He’s a voice for everyone who’s ever felt the weight of financial language bearing down on them.
Armed with insight, humour, and clarity-making magic, he slices through confusion with a single goal: to help you see the story your numbers are telling.
Count Jargon™: Slayer of Jargon, Defender of Clarity. Why It Matters
Finance is supposed to be a common language, yet too often it feels like a private code.
Acronyms, complex reports, and insider terms create distance instead of connection.
Count Jargon™ reminds us that clarity belongs to everyone, not just a select few.
Every person, every leader, every team member deserves to understand the numbers that shape their decisions. Because when clarity wins, people lead with confidence, teams move in sync, and organisations create impact that lasts.
As the launch of Once Upon a Balance Sheet draws near, I’ll be introducing you to the cast of characters who live inside this Storyverse. Each one with their own voice, energy, and unique way of unlocking clarity.
And yes, Count Jargon’s official character card is now in play:
