Financial Management Series
October 27, 2022 @ 5:30 pm - November 17, 2022 @ 7:30 pm
Summary
This four-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, and creating a financial forecast. 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 four sessions.
Audience
This workshop is aimed at entrepreneurs who own or are close to launching a small business and want to learn more about financial management . The more actual financials you have to apply the concepts to, the more concrete and useful you’ll find the material. Therefore, this course is likely not appropriate for entrepreneurs who are still defining their business idea and/or are far from launching.

Thursday, October 27: Business Budgeting: Planning for Profit and Success

Thursday, November 10: Monitoring Financial Performance: Interpreting Financial Statements & Cash Flow Projections
Thursday, November 17: Financial Forecasting: Why Forecasting is Critical to Your Business

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.
