We will include many example problems, both in the format of presentations and Excel worksheet problems.

Learners will understand the similarities and differenced between personal finance and business finance. We will discuss how to set personal financial goals, taking into consideration the life cycle and specific life situations and preferences.

We will go into time value of money concepts early in the course, so we have them ready whenever needed as we move forward in the course.

Learners will also learn about money managing skills, skills related to accounting, compiling financial data into financial reports, and using those reports to construct budgets.
