In today’s fast-paced business world, it’s not just executives who need to understand the numbers. Senior managers who can effectively interpret financial statements, create accurate budgets and make data-driven decisions are the ones who contribute to your department’s objectives and overall success. But finding finance training that resonates with senior non-financial managers is not easy. That’s where the Finance as a Second Language (FSL) program comes in.
Transform Complex Finance into Practical Knowledge: Our program is built for senior non-financial managers who lack a background in finance but need to develop financial insights to succeed. Unlike traditional finance courses that are dense and theoretical, FSL translates complex financial concepts into real-world applications, helping your team quickly build confidence and competence in their financial understanding.
Proven Expertise and Industry Trust: Led by Toshi Shibano, a seasoned finance educator with decades of experience coaching managers across industries, FSL has become a trusted name in financial education. Toshi’s unique approach demystifies finance, ensuring that your managers can not only learn but retain and apply their knowledge immediately.
Immediate Impact on Business Performance: FSL’s curriculum is specifically tailored for managers who want to contribute more effectively to business strategy and communicate with colleagues in other departments. Empowering your team with the essential skill set will build stronger project oversight, better budget management and the ability to build compelling business cases.
Toshi Shibano, PhD, has been delivering financial literacy and value creation programs for 34 years world-wide at GE, Siemens, Longs Drugs, and other Fortune 1000 companies.
Toshi believes that, when executives fully understand and connect their efforts to their CEO’s financial and value creation objectives, they will make better decisions and create more value for their company.
“Toshi’s program is essential for R&D/Product Marketing teams to align and learn more about financial elements and language. He provides a working template for teams to gather their thoughts and ideas in a very well-organized flow. It allows teams to present to executive management why they need to invest in their programs.”
“The primary impact of Toshi’s course is it creates greater alignment between teams, finance teams, lines of business in terms of really having a common language around projects and investments. And just being able to accelerate our efforts because of that common language. My newfound knowledge and language will really help to shape some really big decisions. In a business the size of mine, we’re talking millions of dollars of impact.”
“Toshi’s class helped everyone on my team to translate the expertise they already have in their non-financial areas (marketing, R&D) into the financial language that I need to make decisions and manage them. His class is absolutely essential to promote that thinking.”
