It's an ideal course if you are working in the accounts / finance department and/or if you are thinking of embarking on a career in accountancy or bookkeeping and part of your requirement is to produce the accounts and report back to the owners of the firm.
If you are thinking of starting your own business and want to understand what your figures mean and whether or not your business is doing well, and how you can improve upon those numbers, then this course is for you.
We explain the material and then you get an opportunity to fill out your own financial report card for yourself (hence you will need to get access to your bank statements).
This course is useful for everyone who has any money coming into or out of their bank account. Its important to be able to read your own figures, because this indicates how financially healthy you are. Your balance sheet is an immediate snapshot, and we'll show you how you can read the numbers to know whether things are good, or bad, and how you can improve the picture.
