Training Course Overview

Financial planning is relevant not only to finance departments but also to business managers who need to understand financial performance, review budgets, assess investments, manage costs, identify financial risks, and make decisions related to profitability and long-term planning. Financial knowledge helps managers allocate resources, evaluate operations, and support business objectives.

Financial Planning for Business Managers is an executive training program that introduces non-financial and business managers to financial concepts and planning methods used in business management. Participants will learn to interpret financial statements, prepare budgets, forecast business performance, review financial risks, assess investment opportunities, monitor financial indicators, and connect financial planning with organizational strategy.

The training includes business cases, financial planning exercises, budgeting workshops, scenario analysis, discussions, and implementation planning. These activities provide practical experience with financial information and planning methods relevant to business operations.

By the end of the program, participants will prepare a Business Financial Planning Blueprint and a 90-Day Financial Performance Action Plan to support financial decision-making and business performance.
