So many managers are promoted into the management role without the support, development and skilling up to tackle all aspects of the manager’s role. This includes handling basic financial matters – team / department budgets, project budgets, costing and procurement. This issue is amplified even more for business owners.

In this episode of People and Management, we hear from Chinmay Ananda who makes financial fun! He helps the non-financial professionals get to grips with financials in a simple and effective way.
