Housing Finance – Business Plans – Spreadsheet Modelling
I provide a lot of Board Member and staff training for the National Housing Federation, and for a number of Independent Tenant Advisors – most notably Open Communities and TPAS.
I can either be employed directly, or through the above organisations. I prefer if possible to provide training customised to my client (using their own Business Plan, financial reports etc) and am able to provide training on the following:
- An Introduction to Housing Association Finance
- An Introduction to Council Housing Finance
(and what is changing) - Business Planning/Understanding Business Plans
- An Introduction to Treasury Management
- Managing Risk
- Understanding Development Finance
- The Forward Financial and Housing Market Landscape
- Spreadsheet Modelling
Most courses can be run on a half day or full day basis, and can be customised for Board Members, Tenants Groups and Staff.
(Spreadsheet Modelling is a one or two day course)
I also train the staff of commercial organisations who are looking to get a better understanding of how Housing Associations and Councils work, and the housing products they offer (Social renting, “Affordable” or Intermediate renting, Affordable Home Ownership etc).
I stumbled into training almost by accident, and have continued due to positive feedback from those I have trained. I am not an accountant, and am very much self taught on financial matters. This may be why I seem to be able to explain how money works to a lay audience?
