Many small business owners feel unsure when looking at financial statements. This class helps take the mystery out of income statements and balance sheets so you can use them as tools, not obstacles.
Participants will learn how to identify key information on an income statement and balance sheet and understand how those reports reflect the financial health of a business. The session introduces several common financial ratios, explains how to calculate them, and shows what they reveal about productivity, efficiency, and success.
The focus is on practical use. You’ll learn how to interpret financial information in ways that support better decision-making and clearer conversations with accountants, lenders, or advisors.
By the end of the class, you’ll have a stronger understanding of how financial statements work and how to use them to make more informed, confident business decisions.
