Financial decisions have a tremendous impact on business success. But making these calls requires a specialized skill set, which you'll explore in this accounting and financial management course. Through hands-on exercises and collaborative learning, you'll become familiar with the language, tools, and techniques accounting and finance professionals use on a daily basis. Once you put these skills into practice, you'll be able to analyze financial information and participate in making crucial business decisions.
