Course Description

The goal of this course is to give you a sound understanding of the 3 core financial statements and the "story" they tell.

This course will cover:

  • The Income Statement
  • The Balance Sheet
  • The Statement of Cash Flows

Whether you are currently working for a company, own a company, or looking to start a company, having a working knowledge of the financial statements gives you an edge that many people lack. I am not interested in turning you into an accounting genius, but I am very interested in building your business confidence.

This course is an excerpt taken from the full-length course, Seeing the Big Picture: Business and Financial Acumen Training. In this course you will find reference to the 5 Drivers business model, which isn't covered here, but in the full-length course.

Crisp, concise, excellent content and delivery. This is a great course for someone who wants a short overview of how financial statements tell the story of a company

By Jon Borthwick on 7/24/2023

I have a problem understanding these financial statements. I don't like how the video shows you one company but the questions are based on a comparison. Hard enough for me to follow along without having to compare statements that I struggle with.

By Daniel Cordi on 2/26/2022

course was thorough and well explained. one or two of the quiz questions did not provide all the information required to calculate the necessary ratios for the correct answer and the dates on the printed PDFs dont match that of the slides but the numbers are all the same. otherwise great course
