About this course

Setting goals is easy—measuring them well is what separates good teams from great ones. In this intermediate-level course, you’ll learn how to design and track key performance indicators (KPIs) that actually reflect business success. Using the SMART framework—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound—you’ll transform broad financial goals into precise metrics that drive accountability. Through practical examples, short videos, and hands-on exercises, you’ll define treasury KPIs that connect to real data sources and reporting cadences. You’ll also practice identifying weak or unsustainable KPIs and revising them for clarity and consistency. By the end, you’ll know how to build and maintain a simple performance-tracking sheet that keeps financial insights actionable, measurable, and aligned with strategy—an essential skill for analysts, finance interns, and performance managers alike.
