Finance for Non-Finance Professionals

• Understand the structure and purpose of key financial statements, including the income statement and balance sheet.
• Learn how to interpret financial information and identify potential issues affecting organisational performance.
• Develop the ability to create and manage budgets that support effective planning and control.
• Explore practical approaches to forecasting, controlling costs, and improving resource allocation.

You may work in IT, Marketing, Sales, or another function and have spent years building expertise before stepping into management.
Yet when financial results are discussed at senior level, many new decision-makers realise they lack formal training in finance.
As financial decisions affect every part of a business, this 3-day programme equips non-finance professionals with the essentials to build budgets, manage costs, and use financial information with confidence.

The participants will obtain a certificate from the Luxembourg School of Business. Our school is certified by the Ministry of Education as a lifelong learning organization and member of AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business).

How to finance your training

• Financial support from the State : Luxembourg School of Business is accredited by the Luxembourg Ministry of Higher Education and Research and recognised as a continuing education organisation. As a result, your company can benefit from financial aid from the Luxembourgish state for the training of its employees.
• Tax Deductibility for an individual: Any taxpayer with net income from a salaried occupation may deduct the cost of professional development as business expenses (frais d’obtention) from their taxable income from the salaried occupation. Further training expenses which are related to the taxpayer’s current activity fall within the scope of the acquisition costs of article 105 of the ITA and are therefore deductible from taxable income.
