To strengthen the value of any function in an organization, leaders and specialists need to know the language of business, and that includes the financial components that have traditionally measured business progress and success.  This course is designed to help you do just that. 

Even if you’ve never taken an accounting or finance course, this webinar will give you the foundational understanding you need to improve your partnership and support of your internal customers, including operations, sales, marketing, executives, and more. 

You’ll learn how the valuable work that you do ties in directly with the overall success of your company. As a result, you’ll be able to partner more closely with functional leaders.

  • Learn about the importance of being able to speak the basic language of business.
  • Understand terminology that will help you become a more valuable business partner.
  • Learn and deconstruct the fundamental accounting equation and what it means.
  • Understand the primary financial statements, including their purpose and how they work together.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
I enjoyed the class -- I liked the presenters way of keeping engagement & acknowledging that this subject could be overwhelming for some. She did a great jon though & I feel like I learned what I hoped to. The only let down was that there was quite an extensive time frame with technical difficulties... I would say a good 25 minutes of our 1.5 hour session we were waiting for the class to begin again, so that was disappointing, but I do not believe that is anyone's fault -- Those things happen. It was just a bit of a disappointment for me personally. Overall, I enjoyed the class.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
This was a great topic. I took two introductory accounting management and finance accounting courses in the Arts Management MBA program at Claremont Graduate University while I attended my MS in Evaluation and Applied Science online graduate program during the Covid pandemic. The instructors 1 1/2 hour course covered all of the same topics from that course. It was great to review.

Moderator/presenter should learn to advance the presentation herself without "next slide, please".
