- For a business to be successful,
understanding money is super important,
where it comes from, where it goes,
and how much is left at the end of the day.
As an employee, this money flow's often invisible to you.
But if you take the time to understand the financial side
of a business, you can open up terrific opportunities
in your career.
You'll not only be able to make better decisions
for your company, you'll also be adding value
to your role, which can greatly help
your career prospects.
In this course, we'll cover the big picture
of company performance and what you can do
to drive success.
We'll look at how a business can be impacted
by outside forces,
how money moves in companies,
how to read financial statements,
and how to better focus your job
so that it's keyed in on the bottom line.
I'm Jane Barratt, and after 20+ years
of running teams and companies
all over the world,
I'm still grateful for having a boss
focus me on the bottom line
early in my career.
The financial lessons I learned
in those early days
are ones that I still carry to this day.
So stick with me as we explore
the often uncharted path to long-term success,
focusing on the bottom line as an employee.
