SUMMARY:Business Finance Literacy Series [Session 1 of 3] What You Need To Know About Accounting And Financial Record Keeping
DESCRIPTION:How to handle the 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? \nUnfortunately\, too many small business owners do not properly manage their company’s finances. They use accounting software without fully understanding the processes or 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 filling. \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”. \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Business Finance Literacy Series [Session 2 of 3]  Using an Excel Document for Financial Modeling and Forecasting
DESCRIPTION:A simple Excel financial model can be created using your company’s financial data (historical and/or forecasted). \nCFOs and financial analysts use Excel 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 cost\, and how much money is available to pay expenses. \nFinancial 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 we will begin with a blank Excel document and create a financial model for a sample company.  By the end of the seminar you will understand how to create a customized Excel model for your business. \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”. \nREGISTER NOW
