Making finance more relevant and understandable
Welcome to HC Financial Training
HC Financial Training offers financial training and consultancy advice to companies and organization in Ireland and overseas. Our goal is to make sure you achieve business success. We will equip you with the skills you need to improve your financial and commercial decision making, maximize the bottom line and reach your financial targets.
Background
Managers have always needed financial skills and confidence to tackle financial problems. The current global economic downturn has put the need for financial skills into sharp focus. Businesses often fail due to poor financial planning systems, badly thought through expansion investment and weak cost management.
We will arm you with the tools and concepts you need to meet the current challenges with confidence in a highly focused and practical range of programmes. Our training is designed to enable you to use these skills immediately to improve your company. The driving objective is to deliver sustainable benefits to your business bottom line. Programmes are tightly focused so that you do not need to take unnecessary time away from your work.
Who we are
Hilary Hough and Moira Creedon have been delivering financial training programmes all over the world for many years. Both are highly experienced practitioners with a wide range of experience in all aspects of financial management with significant experience in business management as well as financial training and consultancy.
Responding to the challenges of the recession
The current economic backdrop poses severe challenges for all businesses. Research confirms common sense in concluding that the businesses that survive and thrive in a recession are those that make sound financial decisions. Businesses need the capacity to plan ahead and can adapt quickly to pre-empt problems and react to changing circumstances. The strongest businesses will survive and benefit from the gaps left by the weaker.
Our purpose is to empower you to take control of your own financial destiny. With little room for financial folly, you need to plot your own future and develop a financially sound strategy to steer a way forward.
We offer both Public Programmes in key areas of financial management, and tailored in company programmes in response to specific client needs.
We can also help you embed the learning and tools in your company systems through our range of consultancy programme offerings.
Recent clients have included:
Amadeus, Akzo Nobel, An Post, AP Moeller, C and C, Carlsberg, Covicien Healthcare, CRH, Dublin Airport Authority, Eurocontrol Agency, Hilton Hotels International, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Japan Tobacco, Johnson & Johnson, Kone Lift Corp, LM Ericsson, RTE, Sanofi-Aventis, Solvay Chemicals, Sony Ericsson, Toyota Europe.
No two businesses are the same, and each organization we work with has a unique set of goals and challenges.
The key element of our approach is to work very closely with the client to ensure that the programme we deliver is designed to fully address the clients' needs.
The financial management skills a company needs depend on the business sector, company size, stage of development, international exposure and other factors.
Individual manager's training needs will equally vary for a wide range of reasons.
We reflect these differences throughout our training approach.
