Financial Training for Not-For-Profit Organisations
Pro Active provides a range of financial training short courses for charity, voluntary and creative organisations. We specialise in making those areas of business and accounting more accessible to people needing to work in those areas but often have no formal training in the subjects. We focus on the practical realities people face when trying to do their job.

Short courses can be purchased to be run in house at your organisation and tailored to the needs of those attending; further details can be obtained by contacting arts@proactiveresolutions.com or by downloading the appropriate course outlines.

A business plan is essential for running the business. It will help you keep on a specific course or alert you to situations when things are not going to plan and force you to take action.
Project management training can help an organisation achieve the following: Reduce time-to-market and time-to-profitability, both key factors for any organisation that develops products Ensure predictable schedules, cost and product delivery Offer more effective ways to prioritise, allocate and monitor resources Demonstrate a commitment to excellence to your customers, your employees and other stakeholders This course equips delegates with a solid approach and methodology that they can use to manage projects more effectively. Participants will learn how to use key tools and techniques for project planning and control by applying them practically in case studies.
Managers are required to make decisions in an environment that is often undergoing rapid change. Some of these changes are not within management control, but they must still be responded to if the organisation is to survive.
Value added tax (VAT) can be a confusing tax, its underlying principle is meant to be simple but it tends to be very problematic in application. VAT impacts on charity and arts organisations, and where applicable they are responsible for its operation, it is important that the operation of this system is done accurately and effectively. This seminar will be of use and interest to a great number of people, including trustees, managers, artists, treasurers and funding bodies.
