Demystifying Financial Statements
June 12th, 6-9pm
Each business decision you make has a financial impact on your business. Understand and use the right tools to optimize results. Learn to use your basic financial statements and other key measurements to improve your decision making, interpret your company's financial signals, and gain a "plain English" understanding of basic business terminology. Learn to communicate with financial people and investors to attract capital for growth.
Bonnie Copeland of SCORE presents this workshop. At the age of nineteen Bonnie started her own retail ski shop, built it in five years to $1 million in sales, and sold it in favor of a career as a stay-at-home mom. She then started, built and sold a new home-based business. After earning her MBA, Bonnie worked as Project Financial Analyst for Hughes Aircraft and Project Manager for Shell Oil. As a Financial Manager for the Disney Corporation, she worked on the construction of Thunder Mountain Railroad and managed financial affairs for Disney University and all of the Disney-owned stores at the park and hotels. For over eleven years she was Finance Manager for Digital Equipment Corporation, working directly with the Vice President of Sales to manage the financial aspects of a 600-person sales force. She was executive partner to several aerospace and banking firms, wrote the strategic plan for a new $50 million venture, served as national training manager for the finance and accounting organization, and as senior liaison between finance and the sales group.
