Interpreting Your Financial Results

This six-hour workshop will give you the tools and knowledge you need to read behind the numbers of your financial statements. You'll learn about finance basics and best practices, find out how to read and analyze your financial statements, and tap into practical concepts that can help you make sound business decisions.

By the end of the workshop you will:

• Understand the different components of your balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements;
• Utilize ratios and apply them to your own financial data;
• Be more confident interacting with your accountants and financial advisors;
• Interpret your financial data to provide focus on areas of your business that may need additional monitoring and improvement.

The Interpreting Your Financial Results workshop is presented in partnership with Aileron for business owners and leaders of family and privately held organizations who want to understand and use their financial statements to make sound business decisions. It is not intended for CPAs, CFOs, or other seasoned financial professionals.
