"Finance is FUN! I know that ever since I took the training 'Understand financial overviews' from Susan. She is an experienced business controller in very dynamic circumstances. This is evident from the striking (sometimes hilarious) examples that she uses in her trainings. By doing so she brings the financial subjects to life. Her enthusiasm and humour are contagious. Her trainings are not only fun to follow but her way of working assures that the knowledge really sticks in your mind. The interactive way in which Susan shapes her trainings makes me as participant immediately apply the content in relevant situations. Thanks to the training of Susan I can now much better read and understand the 'balance sheet' and 'profit and loss statement' and make it work for me."
