Most people think of finance as complicated equations and ideas that are beyond the grasp of someone who is not an expert. On top of that, finance involves terms most of us are not familiar with, such as payback, discount rates and so on.
However, having an understanding of how finance works can contribute to both the success of your organization and your role within it. Your decisions have an impact on the financial well-being of your company, and having an understanding of the inner workings of finance will help you make better and more effective decisions. To help you gain the specific skills crucial to your company’s financial success, Amsterdam Institute of Finance offers some of the best Essentials of Finance courses – each of them with a different focus group, and each of them taught by a world-class expert.
