Demystifying Numbers for Non-Finance Professionals

If your decision impacts the bottom-line of your organisation then you are a finance person

Chinmay In Action

Speak the Language of Business With Confidence

Finance is the root of how business makes money and the language of business in numbers! Unfortunately, many business owners and key decision-makers still struggle to speak that language.

I believe finance is a common-sense subject, but unfortunately, common sense may not always be common. This is why I embrace the philosophy of KISS – Keep It Simple & Specific.

Who is Finance Person in Your Organisation ?

In your organisation, can you tell who the finance person is? Is it your:

Human resources manager?
Your administration officer?
Your salesperson?
Your marketing manager?
The IT officer?
Project manager?

Or is just the person with "finance" in their job title?

The truth is: If your decisions affect the bottom line, you ARE a finance person.

Why It Matters ?

Up to 25% higher employee retention
70% of employees feel they are more cost-conscious

My programs equip participants to make informed-profitable decisions that affect the bottom line positively by understanding numbers that in turn will help their organisation make more money than it spends.

"I was always inquisitive about numbers. But whenever I read something about finance or interacted with financial professionals, I was not able to relate. After attending Chinmay’s program and understanding the basics, I can now confidently interact with accountants and financial experts."

"I always hated finance and avoided it. But after attending Chinmay’s program I understood that finance is not only essential but also it is easy to learn. Chinmay engaged us with stories, at the end of which we had learnt about complicated terminologies used in finance. It left us wondering is finance that simple! I would recommend this program to anyone who thinks finance is complicated."

“The workshop for non-finance managers was an eye-opener and has moved me to love finance. I got addicted to the simplicity and lucidity of the jargon-free language used. I think the objective of any training program is to generate interest to explore more on that subject. This workshop did exactly that.”

“Chinmay’s program for non-finance managers surely enables them to easily grasp not only the basics of financial statements but also how to an effective manager. This is a commendable endeavour of Chinmay for presenting these workshops so passionately on finance, as he loves to say “from a non-accountant for non-finance people."
