Overview

You work in one of the following departments (IT, Marketing, Sales…) with a decade of work experience. You have finally climbed the ladder to become a manager – one of the decision-makers. At your first meeting with the other directors and executives, the quarterly earnings report is being discussed, and despite your years of expertise you feel lost; you have no formal training in finance. It is a fact that financial decision-making impacts every aspect of a business. Finance for Non-Finance professionals is a 3-days program that will teach you how to create a budget, manage costs, and use financial information to make decisions.

Who should attend?

• Any professional who wishes to gain the skills necessary to understand how businesses operate and how financial information is presented, analyzed, and interpreted. 
• Any professional with budget responsibility or who wishes to understand how budgets and costs can be effectively controlled. 
  This course is suitable for managers, directors, lawyers, and professionals of all levels, across any industry, who are expected to make business decisions with a direct financial impact on their business’s bottom line.
• In the previous editions of our Finance for Non-Finance for Professionals, we welcomed participants from companies such as Cargolux, Encevos, Luxair, Vodafone, Fanuc, Six Payment Services, SWN, Edison Capital Partners, etc.
