• Does listening to your accountant give you hives?
• Do you break out into a cold sweat when you hear the words “Cash Flow Statement”?
Accounting For Non-Accountants: Conquer your phobia over numbers in this fun and enlightening clinic. You’ll not only learn how to pulse check the business, but bookkeepers or accountants will never again intimidate you.
Dawn takes all the intimidation out of basic accounting. You will understand how the success drivers for your business are revealed through three key reports; Cash Flow Statement, Balance Sheet and Income Statement. These statements are crucial instruments to help you navigate your business. Most small business owners do not fully comprehend the intelligence they provide. At the end of our program, these reports will become old friends.
• Your banker, accountant or bookkeeper will no longer intimidate you.
• You’ll discover where the risks and huge opportunities are for your company.
