Why book this course?

Despite having a responsibility for key decision making within an organisation, many directors and senior managers lack even a basic understanding of finance. Without it, you may be making decisions that jeopardise your financial security, or unnecessarily causing issues for your financial director and other staff.

Our Finance for Non-Financial Directors and Senior Managers course is designed specifically for non-finance directors and senior managers. It will help to demystify the world of finance, giving delegates the confidence and ability to assess the financial health of any organisation, and implement the right solutions. 

Who is the course for?

This course is ideal for anyone with a formal responsibility for financial performance, including directors, senior managers and proprietors.

The skills taught on this course will help you to understand the world of finance, identify financial issues, and measure performance in a way that encourages change.

What will I get out of the training?
