Overview

You may work in IT, Marketing, Sales, or another function and have spent years building expertise before stepping into management.

As financial decisions affect every part of a business, this 3-day programme equips non-finance professionals with the essentials to build budgets, manage costs, and use financial information with confidence.

  • Understand the structure and purpose of key financial statements, including the income statement and balance sheet.
  • Learn how to interpret financial information and identify potential issues affecting organisational performance.
  • Develop the ability to create and manage budgets that support effective planning and control.
  • Explore practical approaches to forecasting, controlling costs, and improving resource allocation.

Who should attend

  • Any professional with budget responsibility.
  • Team leaders and professionals managing budgets or costs.
  • Non-finance professionals seeking stronger business understanding.
