What Does Financial Literacy Mean For My Career?

If you want to become a more valuable asset to your organisation or open up your career to a wider range of options, then financial literacy is absolutely critical.

The most effective team members are able to understand the financial underpinnings of what’s going on in their company and adjust their strategy to align themselves with the right objectives. In today’s increasingly competitive business environment, it is essential to have a firm grasp of financial basics. These include:

• Financial language
• Mental preparedness
• Asset funding and assets as Use of Funds
• The accounting equation
• How to read the Balance Sheet and Income Statement (P&L)

Understanding these concepts will give you a much better grasp of what is going on in your organisation. However, individuals who want to advance in their career must be able to go even deeper with their understanding. They need to be able to apply what they have learned. After you have learned accounting basics in our Colour Accounting financial literacy courses, you will practice what you have learned in our second and third modules. These modules will present you with real world business scenarios and case studies and are specifically designed to help you retain what you have learned. If you want an edge in the business world today, you simply must further your knowledge whenever you have the opportunity. For managers, our finance for non- financial managers course is a top-notch resource that helps you do just that. Call us on 0845 456 400 to discuss your requirements for an in-house workshop and how Colour Accounting will help your career. Only have a couple of people? Our next Public Workshop is 10th and 11th September 2013. Register here.  ]]>
