Creative Plus Business workshop: Financial Literacy For Creatives
Event description
FINANCIAL LITERACY FOR CREATIVES
You can be a professional creative without being a starving artist. Financial literacy may not come naturally, but the secrets of managing money can be learned.
Making a living and building a business means understanding how money works, but the financial situation for creatives can be tricky. Navigating the numbers is not always a happy place, emotions can be overpowering, and who ever learned the basics of business money and financial literacy during their arts training? Financial Literacy for Creatives is a surprisingly fun and practical workshop designed specifically by creatives, for creatives, with a range of tips and insights into navigating the realities of financial management in a professional arts practice.
Participants will learn all the following, with a focus on professional arts practice:
+ Introduction to the ‘Famine and the Feast’, and understanding how to weather the natural ups and downs of creative income.
+ Ways to make better financial decisions by using the cost-benefits analysis tool.
+ Learning the basics of budgets and cash flow projection to help navigate financial irregularity.
+ The essential paperwork, including managing invoices and receipts.
+ Practical steps to getting financially organised, including the best cloud accounting tools.
+ More resources and places to go for help.
