Finance for Non-Financial Managers

Learn what you need to know about core financial concepts to contribute to strategic decisions within your organization confidently and effectively.

This program helps you to understand company accounts and build their confidence in financial matters so they can participate in discussions about the financial impact of strategic decisions. Participants will explore financial topics in three different parts: key financial statements, long-term decisions, and short-term decisions. One-on-one financial coaching sessions are built into the program so that you have a chance to receive tailored guidance and coaching as they apply what they have learned to a specific financial issue within their organization. By doing so, you can enhance their understanding of accounts managed internally or accounts published externally.
