CPA CPD Financial Analysis Courses - Testimonials
As a preparer of financial statements, the financial analysis course provided insights into looking at my business with a focus on improvement and linking it to our strategic direction. Being a controller, management wants the numbers before you can even look at them. This course showed how to tie the metrics to the ratios as well.
Bill M, CPA, Controller
The financial statement analysis provided best practices on linking financial statements to ratios and how to explain the financial story to our board of directors in a user friendly way.
I appreciated especially the analysis of the numbers and the tie in to the financial statements and our budget.
Tim A, CPA, CFO
Always enjoy Leah's presentations. Great as always. The pace at which Leah speaks makes it be easy to think about your own situation while listening, i.e., she doesn't talk too fast. Great info presented well - thank you!
