Mergers and acquisitions (M&A), driven by globalization, long-term markets, and various barriers to growth, often result in new organizations whose financial and strategic options are much improved. Thus, M&A can be a valuable tool by which companies can quickly attempt to increase revenue. This mergers and acquisitions online course discusses all facets of M&A and divestitures, such as types, structures, the process, valuation methods, tax implications, essential compliance requirements (e.g. SEC filing, accounting rules), and financial analysis of combinations.

A Practical Guide to Mergers, Acquisitions, and Divestitures - v13 (6 Hrs)

Companies get into trouble in the good times. However, that doesn't mean that they fail during good economic times. Rather, they make decisions that cause them financial stress when a recession hits. This course gives you financial management ideas for what to do before and during a recession.

The course begins by explaining who determines when a recession has occurred in the United States and the criteria they use to make that determination. I'll then list some challenges businesses face during a recession. Specifically, I'll show how companies get trapped with high costs and cash outflows during a recession.

In the last half of the course, we’ll look at many financial management ideas you can implement before and during a recession to improve your company's ability to survive and thrive. Finally, we'll look at some opportunities businesses have during recessions to improve profitability when good economic times return.

For much of my career, I was part of the senior leadership at banks and a large credit union. I've sat through many special asset meetings, which is the euphemism banks use for meetings about bad loans and repossessed assets. The collections department reported to me at one financial institution. I've seen many of the financial mistakes companies make. It truly saddened me. My hope is that this course gives you ideas to help businesses make fewer and less costly mistakes.

Financial Management in a Recession (2 Hrs)

After decades of low inflation, prices spiked in the 2020s. Inflation was back, but a generation of managers had little experience with it. That lack of experience caused companies to make mistakes when inflation started its fast ascent. Financial leaders need to relearn the skills and insights that guided companies through the high inflation of the 1970s and 1980s.

This course is broken into two sections. The first section will cover some key concepts about inflation. You'll learn:

  • What is inflation?
  • The Federal Reserve's role in managing inflation
  • The indexes used to measure inflation
  • How to calculate inflation
  • A historical look at inflation and its causes
  • The advantages and disadvantages of inflation
  • Consumer reactions to inflation

The second section builds on these concepts to provide implications for company financial management. I'll explain:

  • How to prepare for inflation
  • The importance of cash management
  • Ways to earn more income and protect your cash during inflation
  • Pricing tactics and strategies
  • Inflation implications for capital expenditures
  • Tips and ideas for many aspects of company financial management
Inflation: Key Concepts and Business Financial Management Ideas (3 Hrs)

This class provides a financial overview of the entrepreneurial journey from startup to operational decisions to exit planning.

You’ll learn:

  • Why and how entrepreneurs start companies
  • Business structure selection
  • Sources of cash
  • Financial struggles of small businesses
  • Small business cash flow management
  • The financial components of a business plan
  • Strategic planning
  • Key small business financial metrics
  • Pricing and profitability analysis
  • Risk management
  • Exit planning

This course comes from an Entrepreneurial Finance class the author teaches to MBA students at a university. The author has been the CFO, SVP of Finance, or Director of Operations at multiple small and medium-sized companies.

Entrepreneurial Finance: Small Business Financial Management Basics (4 Hrs)

Annual budgets quickly lose their accuracy and relevance as the fiscal year progresses. A rolling forecast is a tool many companies have implemented to maintain an accurate financial picture of the future and to continuously promote strategic thinking. Some companies replace traditional budgets with rolling forecasts and other processes.

Rolling forecasts provide:

  • Better readiness for a changing business environment
  • Improved cash flow planning
  • More meaningful variance reporting

The best practice use of rolling forecasts begins by clarifying the roles of budgets and forecasts. Specifically, forecast accuracy is increased by separating it from performance management and compensation processes. This improves forecast accuracy.

The efficiency needed to perform forecasts throughout the year is achieved through driver-based forecasting. You'll learn how to build these forecasts. Eliminating traditional budgeting also frees up resources for rolling forecasts.

The course then explains how to implement rolling forecasts. You'll learn the key implementation decisions and steps. I'll show sample reports and how to build them. Rolling forecasts can be built via spreadsheets can be built with spreadsheets, business intelligence (BI) software, or forecasting software. We'll look at the pros and cons of each.

Rolling forecasts have many benefits, but they won't solve all your problems. They may create some new challenges for you. I'll list some challenges you may face and ideas to mitigate them.
