For managers in growing businesses who need some familiarity with finance, particularly for those who have had no formal financial training.

### Programme Overview

Covering the fundamental concepts you need to understand if you’re going to make consistently good financial decisions, the Finance Fundamentals for Growing Businesses programme is a one-day programme, covering key topics such as the nature and drivers of business cash-flow and an explanation of the structure, content and uses of key accounting reports.

The programme provides an essential introduction/refresher to the basic financial concepts that are required by every owner-managed business.

- The two basic principles for business success
- An insight into how your management decisions will affect your company's financial decisions
- An understanding of the purpose and uses of business management information
- Learn how to use financial information to drive and measure business improvement
- The mechanics of cost structures and pricing decisions, with options for improvement

 

> *“The most valuable aspects of this programme are the KPI’s, both financial and other aspects of the business. This is because I am moving further into working ‘on’ rather than ‘in’ the business.”*

> **Matthew Reeve, Co-Founder, Modern Networks**
