Increasing the financial knowledge within your organization has clear bottom line impact.
We will train you on the basics of the financial statements and so you can understand the story the numbers tell.
Live Financial Statements Training
Live training provides the best method for learning difficult subjects. Financial training is made more effective by customizing it using your financial numbers, key performance indicators (KPI’s), and strategy. Having participants use your numbers solidifies the training and relates it back to their jobs. Comparing your results with those of a competitor teaches a bigger picture. Participants are able to ask questions and get direct feedback which improves their learning. They will become fluent with the income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows and stay engaged through the use of stories and the latest adult learning techniques.
