Financial Literacy for Non-Financial People
Read the numbers behind your financial decisions, in everyday language
Most people make financial decisions every day without anyone ever teaching them to read the numbers behind those decisions. This lecture closes that gap. It walks through the basic language of financial statements, explains what each number actually says, and shows how to use it to make a better call in the business or with personal money. The lecture is delivered by Alexander Slutsker, business consultant.
The content is matched in advance to your audience and goals on a short planning call.

Frequently asked questions
Do participants need an accounting background?
No. The lecture starts from the basics and assumes zero prior knowledge. Every term is explained in plain language before it is used.
Does it work for people who do not run a business?
Yes. The same tools apply to a household budget and to a company statement. Both threads run through the lecture.
Can the examples be matched to our sector?
Yes. Examples are adapted in advance to the industry and type of organisation, so the numbers on screen look like the numbers the audience knows.
Part of the audience is experienced and part is new. Will it work?
Yes. The depth is set in advance on the planning call, examples are matched to the sector, and the base assumes no prior knowledge. Audience questions give the experienced their room too.
What is the difference between a lecture and a workshop?
A lecture delivers insights, a thinking framework and examples to a large group. A workshop adds practice, discussion and work on your own cases in a smaller group. They combine well: a lecture for everyone and a follow-up workshop for a core team.
How much does a lecture cost?
The price depends on the format, the location and the audience size. After a short intro call you receive an itemized quote, no surprises.
