Managerial Finance II
Speaking and understanding the language of finance are essential skills for leaders and managers in every organization; smart business decisions rest on this fundamental knowledge. Without a clear understanding of financial analysis and management, you lack credibility with finance managers and business leaders. This course in financial management consists of units that demystify financial terminology and concepts, giving you the tools you need to communicate fluently with finance managers and articulate business investment and project proposals to decision makers. Upon completion of this course, you will have a solid foundation in finance that will serve you throughout your career, regardless of the field you choose to pursue. Working through the examples in this course using both a financial calculator and popular spreadsheet applications like Excel will help you practice applying the tools and strategies and will set you up to make project decisions that lead to growth and profitability, as well as help you improve your personal financial management.
