Only Financial Officer

Skills for Financial Managers in Smaller Companies

The title "Chief Financial Officer" is not a truthful description for what many financial managers do because the term Chief Financial Officer implies that the company has more than one. Many financial managers would be more accurately titled Only Financial Officer, recognizing that they are the only degreed financial manager in their company.

Only Financial Officer is designed to give financial managers in small to medium-sized businesses the high level skills needed to act as a member of top management. The course will cover four major topics that are important to the financial manager who must do all.

The course was written by an experienced OFO whose company grew from small to large over a ten-year period.

Topics covered include:

  • Developing Corporate Strategy
  • Negotiating Skills
    • Negotiating your own salary
    • Bank negotiations
  • Managing:
    • Motivating people to perform for you
    • Performance reviews that you will actually enjoy
  • Trends in Cash Management
    • Cash flow maximization skills
    • The state of EDI in cash management

The course includes group discussion of real-life business cases.
