Professionals have so many decisions to make and the financial statements often offer the information you need. Sure, you can ask an accountant to analyze the financial statements. But, most accountants are not experts in your field. Their analysis will not be as impactful since it lacks your expertise.

Truth be told, you don’t need an accountant to do your job. But you will need at some point to use financial statement information to help with business decisions.

The good news is that you can understand financial statements on your own and apply that information in your field better than an accountant unfamiliar with the business.

You’ll be introduced to the financial statement information. Then, you learn how to analyze financial statements.

I’m not just going to provide formulas but I’ll explain why you need the ratios and how to apply them to a business.

There are no prerequisites needed to benefit from this course. A basic understanding of business will do. 

Whatever field you are in, make understanding financial statements your powerful new skill!
