Ultimate Hub for Hotel Finance Training

My Mission to Build Financial Skills, Knowledge and Ability in Hoteliers

Hi, I am Lakshmi Narasimhan Soundararajan

Right from the time I was in school, I had a head for numbers. In fact, numbers talk to me and tell me stories. As I fashioned my career in the hospitality industry, I worked closely with colleagues who did not have a financial background. I saw them struggle with numbers and fear them.

I made up my mind there and then to commit my career to hotel finance training by simplifying numbers for the benefit of my non-financial background colleagues. I first founded Profits Masterclass and then Financial Skills Academy with the philosophy of assisting managers and small business owners to Build Financial Skills, Knowledge and Ability in themselves.

My vision is for Financial Skills Academy to be the Ultimate Learning Hub for Hotel Finance Training.

My all time favorite historical figure is Leonard Da Vinci and in particular Da Vinci's love for simplicity. When founding Financial Skills Academy, I based the value proposition for my hotel finance courses on three foundational principles: SIMPLE. NON-TECHNICAL. USABLE.

The Ultimate Learning Hub Philosophy

Why do we call ourselves the Ultimate Learning Hub for Hotel Finance Training? It is because you will find every kind of learning there is about hotel finance - from basics through analysis to decision making, from rapid learning to immersive courses, from videos, to podcasts, to infographics, templates and more. The Ultimate Learning Hub addresses every type of learning style of hotel managers, business owners and students. And did we mention that all this is as simple, non-technical and usable learning.

SIMPLE

Financial Courses tend to be written full of jargon that a manager with no financial background would struggle with. Financial Skills Academy courses are written exclusively for those with no financial background. Using simple lay person terms. With no jargon.

NON-TECHNICAL

Financial Skills Academy courses use non-technical language in storytelling to teach. They use videos, images, infographics, flow charts to convert boring text into attractive visuals.

USABLE

Financial Skills Academy courses use Scenarios to simulate real life situations that a hotel operations manager is familiar with. Students can take decisions without any risk. And learn. And Profit.
