Accelerate: Financial Management Series

Accelerate: Financial Management Series

This five-part series covers financial management for small businesses, including budgeting and bookkeeping, creating and using the three financial statements, how to conduct a cash flow analysis, creating a financial forecast, and building your credit. The sessions are hands-on and participatory, so come ready to engage with your instructor and your peers. It’s organized as a cohort, so you’ll sign up once for all five sessions.

1:1 direct no-cost technical assistance hours with a financial expert are available to all participants during this program.

What to Expect:

The content is practical. You’ll be able to apply what you’ve learned to your own business.

The material will be challenging if you’re new to the topics, especially cash flow analysis. You’ll be provided with a coursebook you can use to take notes and reference later. Be prepared to ask questions.

The sessions are participatory. Given the hands-on nature of this program, in-person attendance is encouraged. Come ready to discuss concepts and apply them to your own business.

Course Format:  (Hybrid) held via Zoom and in-person at the WISE WBC

Course Dates: April 24, May 1, May 8, May 15, May 22
