for Leaders
The content of the seminar is highly customized;
however, certain “foundation” topics, such as financial
statements, ratio analysis, and cash, are strongly recommended.
The typical length of this course is three to five days. Financial Intelligence for Leaders will help to build a senior team that truly
understands the metrics that drive the organization — and
then will drive them.
“Their level of professionalism and quality are top-notch.”
Erik Rydstrom, Aventis Pasteur
