Finance Training Designed for Supply Chain Teams
Generic finance training doesn't reflect the realities of supply chain roles.
Planners, buyers, and ops teams need to understand how their decisions affect margin, cash flow, and long-term cost, not just the basics of accounting.
That's why our training is built around real-world supply chain challenges, not textbook theory.
Each learner gets the financial fluency they need for the decisions they make every day.
Supply Chain Finance Skills That Drive Better Business Decisions
Finance isn't just a department, it's a daily reality for your supply chain teams.
We give them the tools to make smarter decisions around cost, risk, and working capital.
From commercial awareness to deep financial insight, here's what they'll build.
Cost Control & Commercial Awareness
- Activity Costing
Learn to calculate true costs by linking activities to overheads, helping teams price more accurately and uncover hidden inefficiencies. - Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Go beyond price. Equip teams to assess lifecycle costs across sourcing, logistics, and service and make stronger trade-offs. - EBIT & Operating Models
Understand how EBIT is calculated, what drives operating profit, and how functional decisions affect it.
Cash Flow, Liquidity & Working Capital
- Cash-to-Cash Cycle
Use statistical techniques, including averages, variances, and probability distributions, to extract insight from past performance and identify trends. - Working Capital
Learn how supply chain performance affects working capital and how to unlock cash without risking service levels. - Cash Flow
Explore how procurement and ops impact cash flow across operational, investing, and financing activities.
Financial Reporting & Analysis
- Reading Balance Sheets
Give your team the tools to assess supplier stability, understand assets and liabilities, and evaluate financial risk. - Income Statement
Link operational decisions to profit and loss, and understand how functional activity impacts top and bottom lines. - Financial Ratios
Apply core metrics like ROTA, ROE, and liquidity ratios to monitor performance and guide decision-making.
Decision-Making Confidence
- Common-Sense Accounting (Theory of Constraints)
Apply Goldratt's thinking to real-world decisions, helping teams respond quickly and with confidence.
Unlock Financial Confidence Across Your Supply Chain Teams
Training matters only when it changes what teams do. Our supply chain finance training builds confidence to drive smarter decisions and deliver real results.

Frequently Asked Questions
You might have seen plenty of finance courses, but here’s the thing: most focus on theory or certifications. Our approach is different. For many teams, finance is deeply tied to day-to-day supply chain decisions, cash flow, risk, margins, and that’s exactly where we focus. It’s practical, role-specific, and designed to help your team make smarter, real-world choices.
Great question. If your role touches budgets, supplier negotiations, or demand forecasting, this training’s probably right for you. We’ve designed it for planners, procurement managers, analysts, and anyone involved in financial decisions that affect the supply chain’s success. For some teams, it’s a game changer.
Sounds simple, but it’s often overlooked. Your team will learn to identify where cash gets stuck, maybe in slow-moving stock or delayed payments, and what actions can free it up. That clarity can have a real impact on liquidity and keep your operations running smoothly.
Absolutely. The platform offers dashboards that give you a quick snapshot of who’s engaged and their progress. And if someone’s falling behind? You’ll get a nudge without wading through endless reports. It’s straightforward and keeps you in control, without extra admin hassle.
Fast, really fast. The online platform can be deployed without delay because it’s cloud-based and fully online, most organisations have teams learning within days, wherever they are. No installs, no downtime, just ready when you are.
