Overview
You don’t have to be a financial expert to make financially savvy business decisions. This program will sharpen your acumen, expand your cross-functional influence and give you confidence to work alongside your financial team to guide organizational growth.
Intended For
Focus
Become a more strategic leader and expand your cross-functional influence, with a deeper understanding of finance. Led by Darden's top-rated experts in accounting and finance, this program focuses on building fundamental financial skills to:
- Navigate financial challenges with your accounting and financial team, in partnership rather than dependence.
- Translate financial reports and cost analyses into meaningful feedback for your team.
- Connect silos to align organizational goals.
This program emphasizes the application and understanding of financial information, not its preparation; no prior finance or accounting knowledge is necessary.
