This course is for you if...

You understand your business, your customers and what you sell — but managing the cash sometimes feels less straightforward.

Perhaps:

  • You look at the bank balance to decide what the business can afford.
  • Customers don't always pay when you expect them to.
  • You aren't sure how much cash the business should keep in reserve.
  • You want to know what your cash position might look like in the weeks ahead.
  • The business is growing but cash sometimes still feels tight.
  • You want to become more disciplined about managing and protecting the money in the business.

You don't need to become an accountant or treasury professional. You need to understand the cash-management principles that matter when you're running a business.
