In partnership with Invest ESSEX, Basildon are hosting a two day workshop to help start-ups and small business owners understand material related to business accounting and entrepreneurial finance. In this workshop, you’ll gain a basic understanding of finance and accounting concepts to drive the success of your business.
The FREE workshop will run from 9:30am to 4:30pm on Tuesday 29 and Wednesday 30 October 2019 at The Basildon Centre, St Martins Square, Basildon SS14 1DL.
This workshop aims to clarify the accounting language so that you are in control of the financial performance of your business, helping you forecast for the future, evaluate your current efforts, and establish strategies to meet your goals.
Accounting knowledge is still needed even if you plan to recruit an accountant as you can make better, informed decisions about your business. This workshop will enable you to have the tools necessary to have a better understanding of what the professionals are saying, so you can run your business more efficiently.
You'll learn about cash management, funding scored and book keeping basics and on day two, you'll learn about cash flow forecasting, break even analysis and variance analysis. These topics will give you the confidence and control needed when making financial decisions.
