I decided to enroll in this program to learn more about financial accounting. What I loved most about the program were the challenging real-world examples used in class, and the fact that the faculty and the whole IE team were always available whenever I needed them. I recommend this program for anybody who’s interested in developing and expanding their expertise in this area, or looking to grow their professional network.

The Financial Decision Making for Managers online program is a great opportunity for anyone interested in enhancing their knowledge of business analysis and forecasting. It was wonderful to hear our instructors discuss the latest trending topics, and to have access to the extra support they provided for students on the weekends.
The online learning environment felt like a community. We had the opportunity to connect with other colleagues as we shared our ideas and experiences, leading up to practice tests and preparing for exams.
In addition, the online sessions were very enriching and interactive. The live sessions were particularly impressive because you could see your classmates connected to the virtual classroom from all around the world. The program itself is very well structured, and it encourages you to always go the extra mile. I can absolutely say that I now feel more confident when making financial decisions, thanks to the solid foundation I acquired during the Financial Decision Making for Managers program.Arianna Carrizo
