Financials are critical to a business no matter if it is a start-up or a mature company. Without a comprehensive plan, a company cannot set goals, determine inventory needs or set sales goals. Creating a financial plan will give your company purpose and direction. Each participant should attend the complete series of classes – by the end of the series each participant will have a completed budget for 2020.
