Coffee & Commerce: Managing Cash Flow — Practical Problem SolvingPresented in partnership with Regions Bank
RSVP Requested for Planning Purposes. Free Event for Members and Non-Members.
Cash flow can make or break a business — especially in the early stages. Join the West Monroe West Ouachita Chamber and Regions Bank for this month’s Coffee & Commerce, a focused 30–45 minute session designed for business professionals, budding entrepreneurs, and individuals with an emerging business idea who want to strengthen their financial confidence and decision-making.
This workshop centers on cash flow management as a core competency of business ownership. Participants will learn how to see beyond profit and understand the real-time movement of money in and out of a business — the key to stability, growth, and resilience.
Through guided examples and practical scenarios, attendees will learn how to:
✔ Understand the purpose of cash flow management in a small or start-up business
✔ Analyze a basic cash flow cycle and create simple projections
✔ Use a cash flow statement to assess and improve financial health
✔ Identify strategies to manage expenses and optimize income timing
✔ Recognize when and how to seek expert financial guidance
Key concepts explored during the session include:
The Cash Conversion Cycle
Visualizing business finances through a Cash Flow Diagram
Understanding the Cash Flow Statement and what it reveals
Different perspectives or “views” of cash flow
Applying lessons through a real-world case example
This session is designed to take the mystery out of financial management and replace it with practical tools that business owners can use immediately.
Coffee & Commerce delivers high-value learning in a concise format for busy professionals. We’re grateful to Regions Bank for partnering with the Chamber to provide financial expertise that supports strong, sustainable businesses across our region.
Come for the coffee. Leave with financial clarity.
