SESSION 1
Basic Accounting Concepts & The Balance Sheet
Assets, liabilities, equity... We’ll cover all the ‘fun’ and incredibly important concepts to know and understand to add value to any business. We’ll review the important concepts that govern basic business accounting and you’ll walk away knowing what a Balance Sheet is as well as how to read it and use it as a tool.
SESSION 2
P&Ls & Cash Flow Statements
What is a Profit & Loss statement? Are we making money? Can we afford this new headcount or benefit expense before I pitch it? In this session we’ll deep dive into the
additional two financial reports that are crucial to business success, as we arm you with all you need to know to understand the health of your business, the impacts of certain
expenses, and how businesses manage cash (vs. profits). Your CFO is gonna flip!
SESSION 3
Other Business Metrics
All the acronyms on this one: KPIs, ARR, MRR, COGS, GP, GM... need we say more? Get ready to take notes and add all these terms (and more!) to your repertoire in Session 3
SESSION 4
Telling Stories with Financial Reporting
In our last session we’ll weave together our newly learned concepts and real life/interactive examples of companies and their financial stories to bring the power of financial reporting home. We’ll use case studies and various statements to discuss the concepts from prior sessions and give you the power to tell stories back to your team!
