SUMMARY:Learn CFO Skills: Financial Modeling Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Business owners struggle with business decisions that affect the financial health of the company. “Are we selling at the right price?” “Are we making money?” “Can we afford to hire someone?” Many times\, these decisions are made without a thorough understanding of the financial implications. This does not need to be the case. There are simple mathematical calculations that can be used to answer key business questions. Financial Models can be used to monitor sales\, overhead and profitability. They can be applied to any business\, independent of size and scope. \nThis session will teach you how to use a financial model for key decision-making. In the previous session (Part 1) we learned the purpose and importance of Managerial accounting. You viewed a simple financial model and learned how to properly gather data. In this session (Part 2) you will see a model created and analyzed using a sample company. \nThis webinar is taught by Lori Williams\, who has an extensive background in finance working as a CFO turnaround consultant\, banker and professor. She is known as the “guru of all numbers”. This webinar is NOT recorded. However\, it is presented monthly and can be repeated as desired. Attendees will receive a copy of presentation materials. \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Learn CFO Skills: Financial Modeling Part 1
DESCRIPTION:A simple financial model can be created using your company’s financial data (historical and/or forecasted). CFOs and financial analysts use financial models to determine if/when a company will be profitable\, what is the correct selling price\, how many “widgets” need to be sold to be cover costs and how much money is available to pay expenses. Financial models are used for start-ups and for on-going analysis to make sure the company is operating at an optimal financial performance. This process is also used to identify financial issues BEFORE they happen. \nIn this session (Part 1) we will learn the purpose and importance of Managerial accounting. You will view a simple financial model and learn how to properly gather data. In the next session (Part 2) you will see a model created and analyzed using a sample company.

SUMMARY:Accounting\, Financial Management and Tax Overview
DESCRIPTION:How to handle accounting and financial record-keeping is one of the most difficult decisions company owners make.

SUMMARY:Learn CFO Skills: Financial Modeling Part 1
DESCRIPTION:A simple financial model can be created using your company’s financial data (historical and/or forecasted). CFOs and financial analysts use financial models to determine if/when a company will be profitable\, what is the correct selling price\, how many “widgets” need to be sold to be cover costs and how much money is available to pay expenses. Financial models are used for start-ups and for on-going analysis to make sure the company is operating at an optimal financial performance. This process is also used to identify financial issues BEFORE they happen. \nIn this session (Part 1) we will learn the purpose and importance of Managerial accounting. You will view a simple financial model and learn how to properly gather data. In the next session (Part 2) you will see a model created and analyzed using a sample company. This webinar is taught by Lori Williams\, who has an extensive background in finance working as a CFO turnaround consultant\, banker and professor. She is known as the “guru of all numbers”.

SUMMARY:Accounting\, Financial Management and Tax Overview
DESCRIPTION:How to handle accounting and financial record-keeping is one of the most difficult decisions company owners make. They ask questions such as: “Should we use Quickbooks Online\, Quickbooks Desktop or some other program?” “What records do we need to keep for tax reporting?” “Should we hire someone to do our bookkeeping?” “What is the difference between a bookkeeper\, accountant and CPA?” “How do we know we are hiring the right person?” Unfortunately\, too many small business owners do not properly manage their company’s finances. They use accounting software without fully understanding the processes or by blindly trusting others. This leads to costly mistakes and tax filing issues. \nIn this session we will cover the basics of accounting: what you need to record and why. You will learn what information is required for tax filing. This webinar is taught by Lori Williams\, who has an extensive background in finance working as a CFO turnaround consultant\, banker and professor. She is known as the “guru of all numbers”. \nREGISTER NOW
