FINANCE TRAINING FOR NON-FINANCIAL MANAGERS
Help your managers speak the language of business.
I’m Ted Wainman, a Chartered Accountant who spent twelve years at EY and JPMorgan. Since 2003 I’ve run finance and commercial workshops for managers at more than 400 organisations in more than 40 countries. Your people leave financially fluent and they make better commercial decisions as a result.

HOW I TEACH
Finance, not accounting.
Your managers don’t need debits and credits. They need to read the numbers, to see how their decisions move them and ask better financial questions.
Your own numbers
We work from your company’s accounts and those of your competitors, suppliers and customers, so every concept lands on something delegates recognise.
No stupid questions
Every workshop is a safe space where delegates can ask the questions they don’t feel able to ask in the workplace. This is where the ‘lightbulb’ moments happen.
Tied to real decisions
Pricing, budgets, investment, cost control and cash. Each idea is linked to the operational decisions your managers actually make.
FEEDBACK
“I’ve had many trainers over the years and he is right up there with the very best. Excellent delivery, pace, tone, humour and depth of knowledge.”

Planning a finance programme?
Tell me who the delegates are and what you want them to do differently. For larger or multi-country roll-outs I bring in trusted associate trainers, so you keep one point of contact.
