Master corporate finance fundamentals without becoming an FP&A professional.

Understand financial planning and budgeting cycles (annual, quarterly, monthly), forecasting
methods (driver-based, statistical, scenario planning), and working capital management (cash
conversion cycle, DSO/DPO/DSI). Make informed capital allocation decisions using hurdle rates
and portfolio frameworks. Evaluate investments using NPV, IRR, and payback period—know when
to use each metric and their limitations. Manage treasury operations including cash management,
debt structure, and liquidity planning. Create effective board and investor reports with clear
variance analysis and forward-looking narratives.

Universal concepts apply broadly, but startup/early-stage companies face distinct challenges
around burn rate, runway, and fundraising timing—see startup sub-primer for early-stage
specifics.
