NHPA’s new online Financial Management course is the latest in the Foundations of Leadership program lineup and provides key team members and their mentors with a comprehensive understanding of the income statement and:
- How to control expenses
- How to drive sales and the components of the revenue equation
- How to increase the productivity of your salesfloor, your employees and inventory.
The curriculum is based on NHPA’s Cost of Doing Business Study and covers the financial fundamentals any developing manager, assistant manager or key employee needs to help take their business to the next level.
