Financial Boot Camp

What you don’t know can hurt you – especially where your firm’s financial statements are concerned. When you “enlist” in this Boot Camp, you will march through the paces and participate in drills based on real-world exercises. You will have the option to evaluate your organization’s financial conditions using our own financial statements. Learn to: 

• Interpret financial statement for better company performance
• Calculate and interpret ratios and indicators, including R-scores
• Understand business entity types
• Work with credit
• Develop cash flow projections
• Understand equipment acquisition and leasing
• Use financial information for strategic and business planning and risk assessment

Using a variety of case studies, participants learn real world management techniques. The case studies simulate real-world business experiences where there are seldom “yes or no” answers.

This program will increase the knowledge, skills, and abilities of those individuals within a firm who are considered “non-financial personnel” but need to have the best understanding of the firm’s financial situations.
