Finance manager

This 10-course pack from BPP is designed to develop the new skills you need to be an effective and successful finance business partner. Changes and pressures on the economy have meant that there is now much more of a relationship between finance and the operational part of the business. This has resulted in the development of the role of the finance business partner, which requires a completely different skill set to those needed by a more traditional financial accountant. 

By completing this pack, you will gain a better understanding of: 
 

• how to provide strategic insight to the rest of your organisation
• using your knowledge to influence decision-making
• implementing strategic plans and measuring their success
• process management
• how to work with others to realise organisational objectives.  

This five-course pack from BPP looks at the role of the accountant and how it has changed. It's no longer enough for accountants to just provide the 'numbers'; we now have to be able to explain what the numbers mean and how they impact an organisation's performance. Finance professionals are expected to be included in the strategic decision-making of an organisation, influencing the planning of an organisation's direction.

By completing this pack, you will gain a better understanding of: 

• what a business partner is and the skills you need to develop to become a good business partner
• how to use technology to enhance your business partnering capabilities
• how to integrate the finance team into the rest of the business.
