Financial Basics for Construction

The Fundamentals of Financials

Running a business in building and construction is challenging as the playing field is always moving. Particularly when it comes to changing regulations and your accounting and compliance obligations; not to mention doing what it takes to build a commercially successful business.

This workshop is a must for anyone wanting to understand the financial fundamentals required for businesses in the building and construction industry. Trained by accounting industry specialists this course will take a look at financial systems and reports, budgets and cashflows along with profit and loss statements.

This livestream workshop is one of three workshops in our new financial series.

All three courses are stand-alone courses and participants can opt to complete one, two or all three.
