If your car isn’t running right you call a mechanic, but if your company sputters and wheezes, it’s your job to diagnose and fix the problem. By regularly monitoring key performance metrics that determine profitability and impact shareholder value, you can steer your company to success.

Join Matt Fultz to learn about the key financial ratios that drive value, such as income statement metrics (including utilization, net labor multiplier, revenue factor, and overhead rates) and balance sheet metrics (like current ratio and average collection period).

You'll examine how they're derived from the financial statements and how to interpret and communicate these numbers. You'll also learn how to motivate and educate your managers and staff, promote ongoing feedback, and guide the planning and problem solving needed to improve these metrics.

During this practical, bottom-line session, you'll:

• Better understand financial statements and key financial ratios that drive value in an engineering firm working with actual financial statements
• Learn how to explain key financial ratios as they directly and indirectly impact shareholder value, as well as being able to identify specific causes driving these ratios
• Demonstrate the relationship importance among performance, liquidity, and leverage ratios and their connection to value and exit strategy management
