It’s grueling work. I learned this during my group project for the class; we had to create a company and its financials for the first five years, then do growth and sustainability analyses. This would have been 10 times harder without the two books that guided us through the project : “The Business Owner’s Guide to Achieving Financial Success” by David A. Duryee and “Entrepreneurial Finance” by Steven Rogers. 

If you’re in a pickle trying to make your projected financial statements work or just need an a little extra help, I strongly recommend these books!

Come join us for an evening of training relevant to any start-up. Whether you’re a start-up company or not, these principals apply to all companies – especially in these tough economic times. We will cover two topics during the evening:


1) Top 10 Business Planning Mistakes: Submitting a Winning Plan to Investors, Banks, Business Partners, etc…

The business plan experts from Palo Alto Software will discuss the top 10 mistakes made in the business planing process. Learn how to avoid these mistakes and create a truly buzz worthy business plan.  The competition is fierce and you owe it to yourself to present the best business plan you can.


2) Accounting: Financial Statements and Forecasting for Growing Companies

Expert accountants from Moss Adams, LLP with knowledge in the emerging-growth business space will be leading this section of the workshop. Accounting is pure overhead and won’t help you increase revenue, but if you spend your resources wisely then your accounting information can help you make decisions and save money. A poor accounting system or lack of financial statements could be detrimental to both your bottom line and your ability to attract funding.


The presentation will focus on how you can make sure you have financial records that will be ready for due diligence by potential investors or helping you secure business loans or partners. We’ll start with your day-to-day accounting and hit the main points all the way through to the 5-yr forecast focusing on cost effective processes for small companies.
