Why Finance Training Matters
Good financial training shouldn’t feel like decoding ancient hieroglyphics. Yet too often, that’s exactly what it’s like – especially if you’re not from a finance background.
Here’s the thing: everyone in your organisation affects the bottom line, whether they realise it or not. When your people understand how their decisions impact budgets, cashflow, and profitability, something remarkable happens. They make better choices. They spot opportunities earlier. They actually enjoy their work more because they finally understand what all those numbers mean.
We’ve spent years developing finance training courses that work for real people in real organisations. From finance business partnering to training for non-finance professionals, public sector teams to corporate finance – we’ve got you covered.

Your Finance Training Questions Answered
-
What is finance training?
Finance training develops the skills and knowledge needed to understand financial information, make financially sound decisions, and contribute to organisational financial performance. This ranges from basic financial literacy for non-finance professionals through to sophisticated corporate finance skills for qualified finance professionals.
-
Who needs finance training?
Pretty much everyone in an organisation benefits from appropriate financial training. Non-finance managers need to understand budgets and financial reports. Finance professionals need to develop strategic and business partnering skills. Leadership teams need financial acumen to make sound strategic decisions. The specific training required varies by role and current capability.
-
What are the benefits of finance training for teams?
Well-designed finance training for teams creates a common financial language across your organisation, improves decision-making quality, increases financial accountability, enhances cross-functional collaboration, reduces costly mistakes, and helps everyone understand how their work impacts organisational performance. Teams with strong financial literacy consistently outperform those without.
-
What's the difference between finance training and accounting training?
Accounting training typically focuses on the technical skills needed to record transactions, prepare financial statements, and ensure compliance – it's about creating accurate financial information. Finance training focuses on understanding and using financial information to make better decisions, whether you're a finance professional developing business partnering skills or a manager learning to interpret your department's budget.
-
Is finance training suitable for people without finance backgrounds?
Absolutely. Some of our most popular programmes are specifically designed for non-finance professionals. We don't assume any prior financial knowledge and explain everything in plain English. The key is matching the training level to the audience – we wouldn't put someone with no finance background into an advanced corporate finance course, but our training for non-finance professionals has helped thousands of people develop financial confidence.
-
Do you offer finance training for the public sector?
Yes, training public sector finance professionals is one of our key strengths. We work with many public sector organisations, so we understand the unique challenges facing public sector organisations – accountability and scrutiny requirements, budget constraints, value for money considerations, political pressures, and the need to balance financial efficiency with service quality. Our training addresses these specific realities rather than treating public sector finance as if it's identical to the private sector.
