Session Description: Just like your body needs care to stay healthy, your finances need attention to thrive. Join me for a breakdown of bookkeeping basics in a way that will help you understand the importance of measuring and maintaining your financial health and the tools to help you do it. You'll discover how your Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement are much like your medical health records and periodic check-ups. You'll also find ways to avoid preventable financial "illness and injury" or what to do if your business does get "sick". If you've ever felt like you want a better grasp on the whole accounting picture in a less abstract and more relatable way, this session is for you!
Keywords: small business accounting, bookkeeping basis, understanding financial statements
