Whether you are the owner of a business or an executive in a hurry for promotion, a finance course can be a great help, writes Steve Farrar of the Sunday Times.

For all these reasons, finance for non-financial managers is a perennially popular training course for those who have their sights set on a successful career.

Steve White, 36, the managing director of Pukka Communications, a Leeds-based graphic design and marketing company, realised that he needed to take the plunge five years after founding his company.  He was reliant on the support of an accountant and bookkeeper to drive his expanding business forward.

"Five years ago, when I had a set of accounts put in front of me, all I understood was that I wanted to make a profit."  he said.  "But later, I wanted to get more involved in the mechanics of my company."
