Financial Data Analysis for Leaders
Financial Data Analysis for Leaders
Overview
5-day in-person or 5-day online program
Business fluency in the basics of finance is a critical skill for any leader. Finance training is more than the basics of understanding financial statements - it’s about elevating you as a sought-after and skilled business leader. Critical analysis of financial statements is essential for assessing a company’s vitality and making strategic decisions that significantly impact business performance.
Financial Data Analysis for Leaders is a finance program geared towards non-finance managers that demonstrates how to create value in a business through financial analysis, cost management, and profitability ratios.
With the ability to interpret and apply critical analysis of financial information to your decision-making process, you will enhance your leadership capabilities, identify business opportunities, and enhance your company’s valuation - regardless of your job function.

Testimonials
"After taking Financial Data Analysis for Leaders, I immediately started doing corporate financial analysis for an investment bank. The knowledge I gained in the program was something I was able to apply right away. Being an experiential learner, I like to learn something in a short period of time and then apply it immediately. My goal was always to take very key practical things I learned in the different programs and implement the information immediately at work."
- Venture Partner, Movens Capital"The short formulas I learned In the Financial Data Analysis for Leaders program enable me to take complex financial concepts and communicate them in a stripped-down, simple fashion for the lay person. I will continue to use this method throughout my career."
- Co-Founder & Vice President of Finance, Rahi Systems"It doesn't matter whether you have almost no knowledge of financial analysis or have a degree of familiarity this program is well paced and will provide a great refresh and some different ways of thinking about financial data."
- Investment Director of North America, New Zealand Trade and Enterprise"The benefit of this online program is that you get attendees from all over the world. People are attending from Asia and Europe, you do not have the constraint of location anymore. What that does is that it makes the program global. I’m able to interact with people from Asia and how they’re finding a solution for a particular problem and compare it to the USA. The diversity is certainly there - not all the people are from the same background. You get different perspectives, different cultural perspectives, different professional experiences. This has been tremendous and the return on investment has been wonderful."
- Supply Chain Management, Lam Research Corporation"Excellent program. As a healthcare leader, I wasn't sure if these principles would be applicable, but I know I'll use the knowledge gained here in my day-to-day moving forward. Well worth the time."
