BUSINESS FINANCE FOR NON-FINANCIAL
MANAGERS

Finance is the basis of a business, yet many managers
find the subject daunting. This, more often than not,
is due to a lack of understanding, complex jargon
and confidence problems. Many managers have an inability
to recognise the need for a financial strategy and
how this should affect their decision making.

and enable you to develop an understanding of financial
topics and processes and how they impact upon your
team and business.
