Looking to train your Johannesburg team to read a balance sheet, defend a budget and talk numbers with confidence? BOTI delivers in-house Finance for Non-Financial Managers training on-site at your premises anywhere in Johannesburg — Sandton, Midrand, Randburg, Rosebank and across Gauteng. We bring the trainer, the workbooks and a practical, plain-language curriculum to your boardroom, so your managers learn financial skills without leaving the office. Call 011-882-8853 or request a quote for a date that suits your team.
In-house, on-site delivery across Johannesburg
Most Johannesburg clients choose in-house training at their own premises — it is the most cost-effective and convenient option once you are training more than a handful of people. Instead of sending staff out to a public venue, you book a single facilitator who runs the course in your meeting room, on a day (or split days) that fits your operational calendar.
We deliver on-site to teams right across the city, including:
- Sandton — head offices, financial-services groups and professional firms around Sandton CBD, Rivonia and Bryanston.
- Midrand — corporate parks and logistics, tech and manufacturing operations along the N1 corridor.
- Randburg — established commercial nodes, media houses and SME head offices.
- Rosebank — banking, consulting and agency teams in and around the Rosebank business district.
Prefer not to use your own boardroom? We also arrange delivery at a Johannesburg venue. And for distributed teams — or managers in regional branches — we run the same course live online, so a single cohort can join from multiple Gauteng sites at once.
Why Johannesburg businesses need this course
Johannesburg is Gauteng’s economic hub and the headquarters city for a large share of South Africa’s corporates, banks, insurers and listed groups. That concentration of head offices, financial services and corporate functions means thousands of managers here are expected to own budgets, sign off spend, interpret management accounts and contribute to financial decisions — often without any formal finance background.
Across Sandton’s financial-services towers, Midrand’s corporate parks, Randburg’s commercial nodes and Rosebank’s consulting and banking offices, the same gap shows up: capable operational, sales, technical and project managers who manage money daily but were never taught how the numbers work. This course closes that gap and lets your managers engage credibly with finance teams, auditors and executives.
What the course teaches
The programme is built for non-financial people, in plain language, with Johannesburg-relevant worked examples. Managers leave able to:
| Skill area | What your team will be able to do |
|---|---|
| Financial statements | Read and interpret the income statement, balance sheet and cash-flow statement |
| Budgeting | Build, manage and defend a departmental budget |
| Costing | Understand fixed vs variable costs and how pricing decisions are made |
| Cash flow | Explain why profit and cash are not the same thing |
| Ratios & analysis | Use key ratios to assess performance and spot risk |
| Reporting | Interpret management accounts and ask the right questions |
The emphasis throughout is practical: less theory, more “what does this mean for the decisions I make on Monday morning.”
Who should attend
This course is ideal for Johannesburg teams including:
- Operations, sales, technical and project managers who own a budget
- Team leaders and supervisors stepping into management
- Business owners and HODs who want to manage performance by the numbers
- Anyone who reports to, or works alongside, a finance function
No prior accounting knowledge is required.
Accreditation
Finance for Non-Financial Managers is delivered as a practical, facilitator-led skills programme; delegates receive a BOTI certificate of attendance (this is not an accredited qualification). Need accredited training? Ask about BOTI’s QCTO/SETA-accredited programmes in Generic Management and Business Administration. BOTI is an accredited training provider — Services SETA 12582 and a QCTO-accredited Skills Development Provider.
Funding: Skills Development budget and B-BBEE skills development
Training your Johannesburg managers also supports your B-BBEE and Skills Development planning:
- Skills Development Levy (SDL): employers pay 1% of the leviable amount (total remuneration) each month[1]; planned staff training like this is the kind of development the levy system is designed to encourage.
- B-BBEE skills-development target: the overall skills-development spend target under the generic Codes is 6% of the leviable amount[2], and eligible training delivered to your staff may count towards that target. Sector codes may differ.
For Gauteng corporates competing for tenders and enterprise contracts, putting budgeted training to work can help turn a development cost into recognised scorecard spend. This is general guidance — your B-BBEE consultant or verification agency can confirm how it lands on your specific scorecard.

Frequently asked questions
How much does in-house Finance for Non-Financial Managers training cost in Johannesburg?
Pricing for in-house delivery depends on group size and location, and is usually far more cost-effective per person than public courses once you have a full group. Send us your numbers and preferred Johannesburg area (Sandton, Midrand, Randburg, Rosebank or elsewhere) and we will quote.

Yes. Our standard model is on-site delivery at your premises anywhere in Johannesburg and greater Gauteng, including Sandton, Midrand, Randburg and Rosebank. We can also arrange a venue or run the course live online for distributed teams.
How long is the course and how many people can attend?
The course typically runs over one to two days and is designed for a single team or cohort. Tell us your group size and we will recommend the right format.
Is the Finance for Non-Financial Managers training accredited?
No — this is a practical, facilitator-led skills programme, and delegates receive a BOTI certificate of attendance rather than an accredited qualification. If you need accredited training, ask us about BOTI’s QCTO/SETA-accredited programmes in related areas such as Generic Management and Business Administration.
Can this training count towards our B-BBEE skills development?
