FINANCE AS A STRATEGIC BUSINESS PARTNER

Overview

The Finance department faces a fundamental obstacle to meeting the demands of a rapidly changing world and generating value for the company’s owners and customers:

To maintain the traditional function of control, compliance, outdated accounting, and the despised budgetary bureaucracy, or to become a Strategic Business Partner, which means working with other departments and functions to actively contribute to the organisation’s success. heet like Excel, which will allow you to customize them to meet your specific needs.

Even though many finance professionals want to see this part of their job changed, they rarely succeed. Many finance functions continue to be backwards-looking accounting and control departments that the rest of the company thinks don’t add much value. This course will let you have an impact on the finances with the strategies.

Top Learning Objectives

You don’t need any accounting or finance experience because we’ll go over everything from the ground up. We will use Microsoft Excel in the course to analyse and create a Balance Sheet, Income Statement, and Cash Flow Statement, so you must have access to and a basic understanding of how to use it.

We will also learn how to create the following financial models from scratch using Microsoft Excel:

Discounted Cash Flow,
the Weighted Average Cost of Capital,
Price to Earnings,
Price to Revenue, and so on – all from scratch (assuming you have no or some accounting/finance knowledge).
