This course contains the use of artificial intelligence
Your bank shows $18.4 million. How much of it can the company actually spend by Friday?
If you cannot answer that in one sentence before 10 a.m., this course is for your Monday mornings.
The problem is not a lack of theory. Cash sits in several banks, legal entities and currencies. The forecast lives inside someone else’s budget. A covenant test arrives as a surprise. And one convincing phone call can send a supplier payment to a fraudster. Most treasury courses explain what treasury is. Very few hand you the files you need to run it.
Here you do the job, not read about it. You step into the role of the new treasury manager at Tallowbrook, a fictional B2B software company with a US parent, UK and German subsidiaries, four banks, a credit line and a term loan with covenants. Every lesson opens with a real-looking Monday-morning problem, and you solve it with a working tool.
What changes after the course
- A dated cash position your CFO can trust: usable cash, restricted cash and reconciliation differences shown separately.
- A 13-week direct cash flow forecast you can roll forward every week and compare with actuals.
- A liquidity buffer with a clear floor, an undrawn line you know you can use, and a stress scenario.
- Controls that stop payment fraud: dual approval, separation of duties and call-back checks for changed bank details.
- A treasury report and a draft treasury policy that turn daily work into rules the board can approve.
Who teaches it
Mike is the founder and head of strategy of an online education business and answers for its money every month. He is the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments and 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. He has lived through a cash crisis from the inside: in 2008, customers stopped paying and the company could not pay its people. This course gives you the routines that make such a week visible long before it arrives.
How the course flows
First you see the money as it is today and build the 13-week forecast. Then you decide how much cash to keep in reserve and test your headroom. Next you put the infrastructure in order: bank accounts, signatories, fees and payment controls. After that you work on the sources of cash: working capital, debt and covenants, with FX and interest rate risk in plain language. Finally you prepare the treasury report for the CFO and draft the policy for surplus cash.
