BC Sunshine Coast - Regional Meeting - Beyond Data Entry - Financial Statements, Budgets and Cash Flow for Small Business, Part 2 - In-Person

May 8, 2025

6:00 PM - 8:00 PM PDT

Info

We had so much fun talking about the Income Statement in Part 1 that we need more time to finish our deep dive into the Balance Sheet as well as the Budget and Cash Flow process.
In this interactive session, we will share and mentor each other in the gems of information that the financial statements can reveal. Bookkeepers can bring these possibilities to their clients giving them an opportunity to act in a timely manner.
Learning Level: Intermediate

Learning Objectives:

  1. Understanding the Balance Sheet and Income Statement
  2. Practical Uses of the Financial Statements. (Pricing margins, fixed costs, burn rate, etc.)
  3. When to Budget versus Cash Flow

Presenter: Janet Shimizu, CPB

Janet attained her CPB designation late in 2021 after over 15 years of learning from her mistakes. Janet has been budgeting since she was 10 and analyzing financial statements since she was 20. One of her earliest positions was budgeting at Xerox Canada Inc. Let’s take a practical look at financial statement analysis and how to help clients who know their questions, but too often cannot read the statements themselves.
