About the Course

When it comes to numbers, there is always more than meets the eye. In operational finance, you will learn how to read the “story” that the balance sheet and income statement tells about the company’s operations. The insights you gain from this “financial story” will then become a tool for short-term decision-making at the top management level relating to current assets, current liabilities and the management of working capital. Finally, by the end of the course you will understand the financial consequences of managerial decisions on operations, marketing, etc....

It's a great course that helps break components of P&L and balance sheet.

Emphasis is on Receivables, Payables, Dupont analysis and how these variables affect the cash/bank position of the firm.

Awesome course to take your financial statement analysis and forecasts to the next level! I started this course as part of the Think Like a CFO Specialization just as I was accepted into an MBA program. The material covered in Finance for Managers will definitely give me a head start on some of my MBA courses. The professor, Miguel Anton, broke down the lessons into well to manage parts making the content easy to understand and retain. This course has already helped me in my current role as Financial Controller, and I am positive it has gotten me a step or two closer to achieving a Chief Financial Officer position. Thank you for another great course!

Very useful to get into company finance topics. A case example is used through all the course providing a very intuitive and easy way to understand and assimilate all the concepts that appear during the sessions.

Prof was awesome. He used story-telling and cliffhangers to keep students engaged. I can't believe finance could be this interesting.
