Know Your Numbers!

You’ve got reports covering your desk and filling up your inbox. You know the reports are important and you need to do something with them... but you are stuck on what to do with them and how they can help you. This three-hour virtual workshop will walk you through understanding what your numbers mean for the financial health of your business. Once you know where to look and what you’re looking for, you’ll be able to decipher unexpected cost hikes in materials, see where money is leaking, and reveal which of your customers are driving profits. Understanding this information allows you to set clear goals for the future and increase your profit margin.
