Financial Management for Non-Accountants Programme

Whilst SME and micro enterprise owner-managers are typically very strong in areas such as product design, sales and customer service, a common weakness shared by many owner-managers is a ‘fear of the numbers’. As a result, many owner-managers ‘leave this to the accountant’ and only worry about financial performance when their year end accounts are about to be posted.

Whilst this ‘bury the head in the sand’ approach to financial management is often tempting, one of the common attributes of resilient businesses is an ongoing focus on the numbers.

The Financial Management for Non-Accountants Programme is aimed at owner-managers who want to know what they need to know …without becoming an accountant.
