Course Overview

Great entrepreneurs, executives, and directors know when they are talking dollars, they are making sense. When they look at a set of financial statements, they can immediately evaluate performance, identify issues, and probe for insight. Whether they are in the boardroom, at a conference, or at a meeting for dinner, they are comfortable talking about the numbers to raise money, negotiate deals, or make investment decisions. Financial intelligence gives these senior people their swagger.

This online CPE course is uniquely designed to show you how seasoned executives act and sound like financial experts without dwelling on the details of how one prepares financial reports and analyses. The emphasis of this online continuing education course is on the users of financial information and serving their needs to make better decisions.

In this continuing professional education course, you will learn to look at financial statements through the eyes of a seasoned executive. You will learn how to probe into issues of performance and identify the root causes. You will learn to rise above the preparation aspects of accounting and finance that bog down many new financial professionals and scare most non-financial professionals. The insights will help you negotiate your next financing or make your next investment decision. Regardless of whether you have a financial background or not, you will benefit from taking this course to hone your financial intelligence.
