TRAINING
AND DEVELOPMENT
Finance
for the Non-Financial
Finance
is the empire of business, yet many people in business have not received the
skills to understand the numbers. Financial fraud depends on a lack of financial
awareness in sales and service staff, and with the global marketplace,
drop-shipments, downsizing, and empowerment the vulnerability to fraud is
increasing. Conversely, if you get your entire staff the skills to understand
finance, you dramatically increase their ability to add profits to the
bottom-line and ask the right questions.
By
providing the basic skills of finance and accounting, you develop a superior
team. Increased competition and tighter profit margins make it critical for
companies to make full use of all sales and service opportunities. By increasing
the financial awareness of your staff, you will increase their decision-making
process as well as profits, giving you more resources to develop ecstatic
customers.
Provide
financial awareness to:
• Recognize
problems before it’s too late
• Build
better budgets
• Plan
for revenues and growth with greater precision
• Get
bottom-line results
• Provide
the numbers that strong management demands
The
understanding that comes from understanding the basics of finance opens up a
world of opportunities for your organization.
They
will learn ways to...
•
Read,
interpret, and analyze key financial statements and accounting reports
• Decode
terminology to confidently talk numbers with anyone
• Increase
strategic decision making skills
• Understand
key financial ratios and measurements for a clear picture
Many
of your managers earned their position by being experts in marketing, sales,
production, distribution, human resources, and customer service. They weren’t
required to be good at the numbers outside their department. Studies have indicated the return-on-investment for
finance knowledge is measurable improvement.
Everyone
attending will learn powerful new ways to...
-
Evaluate
their departmental activities with new insight.
Understand the impact of decisions for a greater part
of the organization.
-
Recognize
potential budgetary issues in planning and implementation.
Identify and address discrepancies between plans and
implementation earlier.
-
Present
arguments for changes tied to the numbers.
Discuss decision foundations with upper management
from a numbers perspective.
