About This Course
Riverstone’s Finance for Non-Finance course is aimed at those who work with finance professionals with no financial background. This course offers a real-world understanding of financial reporting, budgeting and reporting. Attendees learn to interpret profit and loss statements, balance sheets and cash flow reports, and see how their own actions impact on the financial performance of the company. The Finance for Non-Finance program is less theoretical and more practical, so that participants can speak the language, and know what to do, to engage in financial discussions at all levels of the organisation.
This Finance for Non-Finance course is ideal for managers, team leaders, sales professionals, operations staff, and anyone in a non-finance role who regularly interacts with budgets, financial reports, or business performance data. Building financial literacy across an organisation creates better alignment between teams, reduces reliance on finance departments for routine analysis, and leads to stronger, more informed decision-making at every level. Participants come away not only with a clearer understanding of the numbers but also with the confidence to ask the right questions, contribute to financial conversations, and take greater ownership of the financial outcomes within their area of responsibility.
