Please note: this event is run by the Small Business Development Corporation for small business owners in Western Australia only.

This workshop is aimed at people who don't think of themselves as a "numbers person" and looks to take the mystery out of their business financials.

In this interactive session, key financial information will be presented in a visual way using the Colour Accounting Learning System. Participants will be provided with a workbook and pop-up pack to use throughout sessions to assist them to better understand profit and loss statements and balance sheets.

Following this workshop, you will have a better understanding of accounting, finance and business and how they interrelate.

This topic covers:

What accounting concepts and terms mean in plain English
The importance of a balance sheet and how it talks to your profit and loss statement
Understanding what your business finances actually mean
Knowing the right questions to ask your accountant or bookkeeper

This workshop is for:

Business owners who want to build their knowledge and confidence in finance and accounting
Accountants and bookkeepers who want to provide more value to their clients by communicating in a language they can understand

The facilitator of this topic, DHM Coaching and Consulting helps business owners make better informed decisions by building their understanding and confidence around the financials of their business. Debbie Millard has a reputation for being able to explain accounting concepts in plain language making it easier to understand by those with a non-finance background.
