Liquidity Management for Management Consultants & Managers

Description Liquidity Management for Management Consultants & Managers

What is the aim of this course?

Many companies despite having profits still have problems with cash. In other words, they have to improve their liquidity. This topic is not widely discussed and a few management consultants, as well as managers, know how to do it in practice. Therefore, more companies die because of problems with liquidity than due to low profits. Luckily, there are a lot of techniques that will help you in a structured way to look for ways to generate more cash from the business.

In this course, I will show you different methods that you can use to improve the cash position of your business. You will learn the following things:

1. How to identify potential ways to improve your liquidity, especially quick wins
2. How to estimate in Excel how much cash you can generate from a specific solution
3. How to pick the optimal solution
4. How to prevent the firm from going bankrupt due to liquidity problems

This course is based on my 15 years of experience as a consultant in top consulting firms and as a Board Member responsible for strategy, performance improvement, and turn-arounds in the biggest firms from Retail, FMCG, SMG, B2B, and services sectors that I worked for. We have helped numerous firms improve performance and escape bankruptcy, by using techniques and frameworks shown in this course.

On the basis of what you will find in this course, I have trained in person over 100 consultants, business analysts, and managers who now are Partners in PE and VC funds, Investment Directors and Business Analysts in PE and VC, Operational Directors, COO, CRO, CEO, Directors in Consulting Companies, Board Members, etc. On top of that my courses on Udemy were already taken by more than 124 000 students including people working in EY, McKinsey Walmart, Booz Allen Hamilton, Alvarez & Marsal, PwC, Dell, Walgreens, Orange Citigroup, Cisco, IBM, and many others.

I teach through case studies, so you will have a lot of lectures showing examples of analyses, tools that we use. To a lot of lectures, you will find attached (in additional resources) the Excels as well as additional presentations, materials shown in the lectures, so as a part of this course you will also get a library of ready-made analyses that can, with certain modification, be applied by you or your team in your work.
