Financial Intelligence for Non-Financial Managers is the
Business Literacy Institute’s most popular course. In
two days it covers financial statements and ratios, capital
budgeting/return on investment, time value of money, cash vs.
profit, and budgeting and variance analysis. Stories and examples
are used throughout the program to illustrate concepts. Attendees
will also gain the valuable “watch-out’s”
to be learned from the financial fraud that has occurred in
corporate America.
Getting Past the Finance
Basics
All programs are customized with the client’s
financials, key measures, and strategic principles. Additional
content customization is also available.

“The Business Literacy Institute truly partners with their clients. They focused on our needs and worked with us every step of the way.”
