The Accidental Accountant: Managing the Financials of Your Small Business
$75.00

You started your business to make a living using your creative talents. You didn’t start it to get better at accounting. But understanding the language of business is an important part of running a successful business – even a creative one. The Accidental Accountant was designed for owners of creative enterprises who want their businesses to grow and to become stronger financially.
During this two-hour workshop, you’ll learn:

  • Why you need to understand accounting to run your creative business

  • The three scorecards that will help you understand where your business is and where it is going and how to update them.

  • How important business activities like buying materials, making products, and selling impact your finances and your business.

  • The tools that you can use to keep track of your business finances and how to pick the right one for you and your business.

  • Best practices for managing the money behind your business.

This workshop is guaranteed to be spreadsheet-free! It is an introduction to the financial tools that will help you understand your business.
