Course Description
Cash management is one of the most important factors in the financial success of your business. D&B reports that 90% of all small business failures are due to poor cash management and inadequate cash flow, leading to more money getting paid out than collected. Non-financial managers usually make the key differences in day-to-day cash flow decision making. Learn how to optimize cash flow, uncover hidden internal and external sources of cash, and how to cultivate solid cash management in your company.
