Basic Financials for Land Surveyors

This course has been discontinued.

Many land surveyors are excellent at land surveying, as you would expect, but completely helpless when it comes to operating a business. Surveyors, like other professionals, should not be expected to be expert business people. However, many surveyors are engaged in private practice, or intend to be at some point in their careers, and it is vitally important to understand how to measure the success of the business enterprise. Thus, they need to know about financial statements, the measurement of business success, and the analytical tools to accomplish profitability; they are the measurements necessary to determine the health of the business and to guide managers in making changes to allow attainment of financial objectives.

This 1-hour interactive online course is an introduction to the basic financial statements needed to operate a small land surveying business, and a brief overview of their use. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end. This course also includes a downloadable Excel file.
