“Finance for Non-Financial Managers”

Furthermore, it Is hard for your organization to improve its gross profit margin, return on assets, or free cash flow, if key employees don’t know how to work with an income statement, balance sheet or cash flow statement.  

And if your employees are not practiced in working in cross-functional teams to negotiate complex financially-based decisions, that is also undoubtedly holding your organization back.
