Managing your Business Finances.

Ignorance is not bliss when it comes to your business's bottom line. Having your head in the sand about your business’s finances leads to midnight worries, overdue bills, and, worst of all, lost opportunities.

Here is your chance to turn that around! Minding Your Business will teach you to master the basics of business finance. The payoff is huge. You will always know where you stand financially. This will enable you to make successful decisions. Profit from new opportunities. And sleep much better at night. In this lively, interactive course, you’ll learn The Very Simple System™; a basic bookkeeping and record-keeping method that requires no computer or accounting knowledge.

During this 4 hour program, you will:

  • Learn the relationship between your personal and business finances, including paying taxes.
  • Gather what is needed to create your own accounting systems and introduce you to A Very Simple System™.
  • Have hands-on experience with a case study on the Simple System.
  • Set up your own Very Simple System.

Who should attend?

  • Solo Entrepreneurs
  • Sole Proprietors
  • Micro Businesses
  • Side Gigs
  • Active Home-based businesses

Please feel free to bring coffee, drinks, snacks, or lunch since the Library's Cafe is not open on Saturdays and few others near the Library are open on Saturdays. We will have a half-hour break around noon.
