Participants in this course will be taken on a clear, step-by-step journey through the basics of financial management, right from the very beginning. At each stage, you’ll build a solid practical understanding of the financial processes and documents you’re most likely to encounter within your own work — day-to-day, month-to-month and year-to-year.
By increasing your familiarity and confidence with these terms, tasks and papers, you’ll find yourself better equipped to manage your financial responsibilities in a more time-efficient and cost-effective way.
This course has been created as an introduction to finance for those who are completely or relatively new to it. It is also intended as a valuable refresher for those with a little more financial experience — those who may find themselves dealing with finance without ever having had training or support in the first place.
Suitable For:
Anyone involved with the financial management of their own work, or the work of their organisation, or someone else’s organisation, such as…
-Individual practitioners trying to get by with no team around them and no spare money to bring in admin support;
-Artistic Directors who have to double as their own General Managers, who don’t want to spend the majority of their time on administration;
-Leaders of organisations who are required to report on financial matters to colleagues, Boards and stakeholders, but who may not always feel they know what they’re talking about;
-Directors and Trustees who have statutory responsibilities to uphold and who want to support their executive team as well as they possibly can;
-Anyone who wants to refresh their existing knowledge and revisit their approaches to financial management;
-Anyone who panics that everybody else knows more about financial management than they do — and worries that they’re doing a worse job of it than everybody else is.
