Financial Skills for the Proactive PA

If you are not confident working with financial concepts and language then you are not alone. The role of the executive PA is becoming increasingly demanding. This is perhaps reflected by the high calibre of person that this position now attracts. Bosses now expect their personal assistants to support them in all areas of their work including finance.

However for the busy PA, making financially based decisions without the assurance of a formal financial background can be very daunting. This practical two day course will demystify finance and help you enhance your effectiveness as a PA, ensuring that you can make financially sound business decisions and showing how you can add even more value to your company.

THIS COURSE WILL ENABLE YOU TO:
understand exactly what the finance team are talking about
gain the tools and knowledge you need to get what you want from the finance team
efficiently and successfully use a budget to control
analyse a balance sheet and find out what is happening in your company
understand the difference between cash and profit
have the tools and techniques to maximise your chances of getting hold of those extra bits of capital equipment that currently seem unobtainable
