 If you are a non-financial manager that would like to become more
financially intelligent 

 here are two learning resources that you should check out. 

 This will help you get ahead in business and in your career.

 FIRST LEARNING RESOURCE

 A mini-course delivered by email that will teach you some key
concepts in Finance and

 also show you how to practically apply these to increase your
company's profits and 

 your own personal income.

 This mini course covers

 1) What Pareto's law is and how it can help you increase your
personal income.

 2) The Balance Sheet explained in 5 minutes (you have no idea how
simple it actually is).

 3) What is meant by "cost behaviour"? Can costs behave?

 4) How to take the stress out of the budgeting process.

 5) The 3 bottom lines every business owner and manager should be
looking at

 6) and more...

 You can sign up for it here (there is no charge for this)

 SECOND LEARNING RESOURCE

 A 3 day Finance for Non-Financial Manager Course - with a
difference.

 Here's the problem with most training courses.

 You go on the course, learn some new theoretical concepts and then
forget 90% 

 of what you learnt.

 There's too much information covered in a short space of time and
when you need to apply

 what you learnt you can't remember it or it was too theoretical to
easily apply it.

 So what we do with our programme is not only give you the 3 days of
face-to-face training 

 but we also include a full year of post-coaching support at no
additional charge.

 What this means is that for a full year after attending the course
you can call or email 

 a qualified CA(SA) to help you with implementing any of the finance
concepts you covered 

 on the course.

 Need help with a budget spreadsheet? Simply contact us.

 Need to know what ratios to use? Simply contact us.

 Help is a phone call or email away.

 Why do we do this? 

 The idea behind this programme is not to give you theoretical
information but to help you 

 become better at your job in your work environment.

 So to recap, the programme consists of two components

 A) a learning-by-doing 3 day course (we use case studies and
discussion to encourage 

 learning by doing).

 B) Coaching support from a qualified Chartered Accountant for a full
year after the course.
