Advancing to strategic and conceptual work requires a focus on your strengths while addressing areas for improvement. First, ensure accuracy in your current tasks, perhaps by implementing double-check routines or utilizing software tools to minimize errors. Communicate openly with management about your diligence in improving. Demonstrating consistent reliability will build trust. Simultaneously, seek opportunities to collaborate on projects involving strategic thinking to showcase your abilities. Continued learning, such as workshops or courses on strategic planning, can also prove beneficial. Keeping a proactive attitude shows your commitment to growth and capability for more complex responsibilities.

If management is upset, your mistakes with numbers are not insignificant. Have a talk with your manager and work out how you can improve to reduce those mistakes.

That's really stupid. By free do you mean available, or free of charge. Can you find another job?
