If you’re like many small business owners, you often feel like your financials are out of control.  Why not learn how to use cash flow and budgeting to understand where your money is going.  Cash flow is the bane of every business owner’s existence.  Most people do it by the seat of their pants or try to get their accountant/ bookkeeper to assist them.  The premise of this workshop is that with a minimal use/ understanding of Excel, a business owner can really take charge of his or her finances.  How?  By creating very simple forecast models that can be changed as events change or changed based on different assumptions of revenues and expenses.  In this FREE webinar, Alan uses a projected image of a typical business and, with input from the group, make simple changes based on ideas or concerns from the participants.  Participants will also get sample templates.


Who Should Attend?

If you’ve seen dips in your business, this webinar will give you tools to figure out why. Not reaching your revenue targets?  You’ll learn how to create new benchmarks.  Just not comfortable with numbers? You’ll gain some confidence to tackle them.
