Financial management for managers

Plan - target - actual! How to translate the strategy dimension into everyday life

This training is held in German.
Management that focuses on the interests of all stakeholders - investors, employees, customers, suppliers - and thus on the long-term existence of the company operates on the basis of successful financial management. Your financial leadership competence determines the long-term success of your strategy implementation. One of the burning questions addressed in this training is: How can you set milestones in your planning so that the cash flows from sales activities, investments and financing are synchronized in the long, medium and short term - even with longer production times, for example due to material supply bottlenecks? In this training , you will learn how the individual elements are connected and learn the art of coordinating cash flows in the short, medium and long term so that you achieve your financial goals (profitability or increase in company value) and translate your ideas into figures in your planning.
