How to Finesse Finance and Think Like Your Executive
15th November 2022
Pat Woods - How to Finesse Finance and Think Like Your Executive
4-hour online course, from 3pm (GMT), 4pm (CET), 9am (ET), 6am (PT) (includes 2x 90-minute sessions, 30-minute break, and 30-minute Q&A)
Has finance always been a mystery to you?
Corporate finance is the lifeblood of any organization. As an administrative professional, you can add significant value by understanding the basics of budgeting (financial plans) and how to drill down into a vendor’s pricing to get the best value for money.
The word “finesse” means the skillful, artful and/or diplomatic handling of something that might be difficult for others.
The purpose of this Masterclass is to pull back the curtain on the mystery or secrecy of finance by focusing on the key areas of understanding basic statements:
- Balance sheet (assets vs. liabilities),
- Income statement (revenues, expenses and profits)
- Cash flow (are we growing, shrinking, or stagnant?)
