Finance for Non-Finance Managers

Training Description

The aim of this one-day course is to provide managers with awareness and basic understanding of the way finance affects their business objectives. This course is designed for busy managers and those professionals who are responsible for  financial matters without necessarily having a job title or qualifications to match.
The content is delivered in an easy-to-understand way, speaking your language and enabling you to understand the financial way of seeing things.

During the day you will learn to read the accounts, understand the terminology, be able to influence and control your key financial measurements, targets and budgets - all from an operational management perspective. The programme enables to you gain confidence in developing financial negotiations, participate in meetings where the ‘finances' are being discussed, build you own budgets, monitor your budgets and take a more active role in the financial aspects of the organisation.

The Course Suits

Managers who need to know more about finance to improve their planning, costing and budgeting skills.

The course is suitable for those in both the private and public sectors from small and medium sized enterprises to multinational corporations. It is designed for all those who are affected by the ‘finances' at work. It enables you to go back to your workplace and have a greater ability to ‘read the figures'. You will be given the tools to discuss financial aspects.

You will share the day with others who have a similar level of understanding as you and the programme will be delivered in a very open and interactive format. You will also need to bring a calculator so that you can work out some of the key measurements and financial ratios during the day.
