The Finance as a Second Language (FSL) program is specifically designed for senior non-financial managers who excel in their roles but lack formal financial training. Unlike generic finance courses, FSL is tailored to bridge the gap for non-financial managers who need to apply financial knowledge practically and immediately.
Practical, Manager-Centric Content: Unlike traditional finance courses filled with jargon and complex theories, FSL focuses on practical applications that directly relate to your management responsibilities. We simplify financial concepts into clear, actionable knowledge you can use immediately.
Real-World Scenarios: Our curriculum uses real-world business cases and challenges. This means you’ll learn not just the ‘what’ but the ‘how’ – how to interpret a P&L statement, how to craft budgets that get buy-in and how to engage confidently in strategic discussions.
Learn at Your Pace: We understand the demands on your time. FSL offers flexible learning options that fit your busy schedule, so you can grow your financial confidence without sacrificing work-life balance.
Expert Guidance You Can Trust: Created and taught by Toshi Shibano, an experienced financial educator who has spent decades training managers and senior leaders, FSL is backed by unparalleled expertise. Toshi has a unique ability to make complex finance concepts simple, relatable and applicable to everyday management challenges.
Imagine being the manager who stands out not just for operational expertise but for strategic financial acumen. Imagine leading meetings where your insights drive decisions. With FSL, you gain the skills and confidence to turn financial knowledge into career-advancing opportunities.
Don’t let a lack of financial background limit your potential. Choose FSL and become the financially savvy leader your organization values.
“Toshi’s program is connected to what we are doing in real life. He creates links between what I know, what happens in the business, and how I should articulate and communicate that to my management. I can make better decisions and actually connect to the way we are making decisions. I would definitely recommend the program both to my colleagues and to the company.”
“In Toshi’s program, it’s more about how do you effectively sell what you do in financial terms that a senior executive is looking for. How do you align yourself with their strategy in terms that they are familiar with? I’ll be better able to explain the value I provide the company in quantitative financial language.”
“What I’ve learned in Toshi’s program, and what I find really reassuring and exciting, is that it’s all about numbers being a tool and a means to better decisions. What it has done for me is it’s given me a different vocabulary to be able to express the value that I bring and that my organization brings. It really has given me the language that I can now use to express that.”
