Cash Flow Forecasting for Small Businesses

Presenters Jennifer Wageman and Kristin Garland (NOW CFO)

Understanding your own companies’ finances is a key component of your company’s success. This financial visibility comes from good record keeping and reporting these records in such a way that a business owner has information to make smarter business decisions.

One of the most important steps to keeping your company’s finances internally visible is by managing cash flow and creating a Cash Flow Forecast.

While this may seem basic, studies have shown that 50% of all profitable businesses fail due to the lack of cash and proper cash flow management.

In this workshop, we will provide templates and assistance with creating a basic cash flow forecast for your business.

WHEN: 11:00am to 1:00pm
WHERE: SBDC - San Juan College (Farmington)
