Corporate Budgeting for Managers

Corporate Budgeting for Managers

COURSE OVERVIEW

Many managers, although experts in their own field and skilled at motivating their team to perform, are also required to prepare and report on the annual budget. The problem is that not everyone has a financial background and this is an area that leaves many feeling out of their depth and unprepared. But, it doesn’t have to be this way. AstroTech can help make next year’s budget process, not only much easier, but also a valuable management tool.
