How to Track and Analyze the Critical Numbers of Your Business

If you're someone who is a bit intimidated by accounting… we organized this webinar with you in mind.

Understanding the source/origin of the numbers and how to manipulate and analyze them is the key to overcoming the fear of accounting terminology and complexity.
 
The simple truth is that you don't need an MBA or an in-depth understanding of double-entry accounting to know which numbers are the most critical to the health of your business and that deserve your keen attention. These numbers are your ultimate scorecard.
 
We'll do a review of the basic financial documents that track the flow of money within your business. Most critical numbers live on the following documents:
  • Balance Sheet
  • Income Statement
  • Cash Flow Statement

We'll also focus on key profitability terms such as tracking your Gross Margin and Net Income and learn some key ratios.
 
One of the most important reasons to organize your financial information is to stay on top of your taxes so as to avoid any liability issues.

Webinar participation is FREE, but registration is required.

Format:

  • 12:00 - 12:45 pm Eastern time | Welcome/Presentation
  • 12:45 - 01:00 pm | Questions & Answers
