July WeRISE In-Person & Virtual

Most entrepreneurs know they should look at their numbers — but fear, confusion, and "I'll deal with it later" keep getting in the way. In this hands-on 45-minute session, Stephanie Matlock breaks down the two reports every business owner needs to understand: the Profit & Loss statement and the Cash Flow worksheet. No accounting degree required. 

No balance sheets. Just real tools, plain language, and a simple framework you can start using the same week. You'll leave with a completed cash flow worksheet, a monthly money habit, and one rule that protects your income — so you can stop guessing and start leading with your numbers.

Key Takeaways

• How to read a Profit & Loss statement in plain English and the one question it can't answer on its own.
• Why profit and cash are not the same thing, and how understanding the difference can protect your business from an empty bank account even in a "good" month.
• A simplified cash flow framework you can do every month, inflows, outflows, and what's left, built around the way your business actually works.
• The Three Buckets habit has a simple, realistic system for setting aside money for taxes, paying yourself, and building a cushion, even if you're just starting out.

Everyone will receive the Zoom link regardless of how you register. Please do not register for both the in-person and virtual options.
