Introduction to Finance Training

Transforming finance training

Introduction to Finance (Finance for non Finance)

Financial knowledge, skills and commercial awareness are business critical skills for managers. This is the first course in the series we recommend when starting Finance For Non Finance Managers training.  Succeeding in these challenging economic times relies on everyone having a basic understanding of finance, and sharing a common direction and purpose. Being comfortable with financial terminology and principles will enable managers to effectively partner with the finance function and contribute to the performance of the organisation.

This one day course is aimed at ensuring that the fundamentals of finance are well understood. By breaking down some of the jargon and making finance more accessible, this course can lead to delegates taking a more proactive role with finance matters in their organisations. It provides a safe environment where they are able to ask questions and ensure that they have a solid foundation on which to build.

Our training courses are designed to be hands on and interactive, therefore we recommend an ideal delegate size of 12 for this course.
