💻 Hannah Grimes Webinar: Your Best Strategy for Increasing Profits: Analyze Your Financial Statements Thursday, November 14, 2024 • 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM EST Online | $15 | English Every business wants to increase profits. But often micro and small businesses lose sight of profits in the whirlwind of day-to-day operations. Their strategy is this – increase sales, control expenses, and live to open for business another day. But that strategy is exhausting and often not the best way to increase profits. In this workshop, a Hannah Grimes Expert will walk you through how you can develop a winning strategy for increasing profits by taking a closer look at your financials. Of course, they’ll look at your P&L with some special attention to COGS/Cost of Services, but they'll also talk about what your Accounts Receivable, budget, cash flow, and balance sheet tell you. Come and discover the winning strategy for your business – it’s hiding in plain sight in your financials!
