Small Business & Entrepreneur Education Series. Session Eight -- Cash Flow Management & Planning
The Sherwood Chamber of Commerce and the City of Sherwood welcome residents from all over the region to join us in a virtual educational series for entrepreneurs and existing and start-up small businesses.
February 18th session: Cash Flow Management & Planning
Many businesses are profitable, but ultimately fail because they lose track of their cash flow and are unable to pay the bills. This session will explore the following:
• Why profit does not equal cash flow
• Financial statement basics
• Cash-in/cash-out best practices
• Managing Accounts Receivable
• Managing Accounts Payable
• Pitfalls to avoid
