ST Training Solutions
Finance for Non-Finance Managers with Leong Chan Foo James

Introduction

Do accounting numbers confound you? As a company Director, CEO, or Manager, having the ability to interpret and understand financial numbers churned out by your accounting department is indispensable. Keeping an eye on the financial viability of your customers, suppliers and competitors would boost your ability to help your company stay ahead of the game. Just imagine what it would be like to be financially savvy. You would not only be more confident, but also more valuable to your company because you make financially smarter and better decisions. Understanding how to interpret and analyse financial statements is the first step to adding value to your company and your personal career. In this workshop, you will demystify accounting once and for all and turn it from a stumbling block into a stepping stone for your career and business success.

What's unique about the workshop?

This workshop focuses on the big picture financial analysis of companies, without being bogged down by unnecessary details. It will be conducted by James Leong, a highly experienced chartered accountant and excellent presenter with international training and management experience. James is CEO of his own management consultancy. User-friendly terms will be used to explain technical and complex concepts for easy understanding. Our past participants have enjoyed the hands-on, practical and highly interactive learning experience that has been specially tailored for non-financially trained professionals.
