Simple Guide to Financial Statement and Connecting to Your Community (combined workshops)
2017-07-27 18:00 - 21:00 | Highline college, PO Box 98000, Des Moines, WA, 98198, United States
Simple Guide to Financial Statement
One statement cannot diagnose your companys financial health. Put several statements together and you can make smart financial, investment and management decisions. Many business owners dont know how to read their statements and rely on advisors (such as accountants) to tell them the results. Their input is valuable but you need to educate yourself.
You must be able to understand your statements so you can

realize the vital role money plays in every business decision
determine if you are making a profit or losing money
calculate your current and future financial needs:
make sure you have positive cash flow for short-term needs
make sure your business is growing and will continue to grow
For lending purposes, statements will help you determine:
If you can afford to pay a loan, the loan amount, the loan term (number of years), which assets you should buy vs. which assets should be financed and what collateral is available to secure a loan.

Connecting to your Community

How to Manage Your Cash Flow
Cash is king when it comes to the financial management of a growing company. The lag between the time you have to pay your suppliers and employees and the time you collect from your customers is the problem, and the solution is cash flow management. At its simplest, cash flow management means delaying outlays of cash as long as possible while encouraging anyone who owes you money to pay it as rapidly as possible.
Managing the Operations
Operations are key to business success. Learn how to be a successful operations manager.
