Advanced Cash Flow Working Capital Management
Boosting the Fuel of Business
About this course
This Seya Capital Advanced Cash Flow and Working Capital Management training course gives you not just the theory, but the practical toolkit needed to supercharge the working capital and cash flow engine at the heart of business performance and strength.

- Fundamentals of accounting for cash and working capital
- Understanding the drivers of cash flow, liquidity, and solvency
- Managing and improving operating cash flows
- Techniques for optimising the components of working capital
- Business funding and capital structure
