Create a Robust Financial Plan For Your Business
Ken Burke, successful serial Entrepreneur, will walk you step-by-step through the financial planning process. Included is weekly live Q&A sessions, group mentoring, unlimited email and 3 hours of online videos to support your education.
Too many entrepreneurs avoid financials, simply because they don’t fully understand it. That must stop now! We will teach you everything you need to know. (Not to spoil the surprise, but you’ll be shocked by how easy and straightforward business financials actually are!)
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
In week 1, we will examine and counteract common misconceptions about financial planning, learn about different models for revenue and cost projections, and discuss concepts such as the maximum negative cash flow that potential investors will scrutinize. Key expense and revenue models and financial statements will be reviewed one-by-one, with accompanying worksheets and formulas to help you build your own realistic, credible models.
Week 2 is probably the most important session of the entire class. This is where the rubber hits the road. I will teach you the art of revenue forecasting and explain the various drivers to revenue. Then I will show you exactly how to use the revenue forecasting model and apply it your business. Whether you are a product business, services business or subscription business, I have a revenue model that will work for you.
In week 3, we are going to build your staffing model which will include both employees and contractors for the next 3 years. The model automatically calculates taxes and benefits for you. In addition, we will plot all your expenses and the model will distribute them automatically in the proper categories. Finally, I will teach you how to interpret your income statement and cash flow statements and give you inside information on what it means to your business.
In this exciting session, I will get review your financial model and give you direct feedback. In addition we will do a mastermind session with the other entrepreneurs to understand challenges they are having and how to overcome them. You are guaranteed to learn a lot from this powerful session.
