Business Booster – next session time TBA

In times of economic uncertainty it is fundamentally important that you know and understand the true state of your business. If you don't understand your financial statements you cannot make informed decisions about what is best for you and for your customers. To help you gain this understanding, Hayes Knight has created Business Booster – the first in the Hayes Knight 2009 Seminar Series.

Business Booster is a full-day interactive workshop hosted by Alan Green designed to give business owners insight and understanding of their financial statements and how they interact. Alan is recognised as a leader in business development and strategic business planning in Australia and New Zealand, is a past State President, Director and State Councillor for CPA Australia, and is Chairman of the Hayes Knight Group National Executive. Alan acts as a business coach and mentor to a number of organisations and executives, and is a regular media commentator in the business press covering a range of issues affecting the SME market.

Business Booster answers questions such as:

• What are the key elements of a successful business?
• What do profit-and-loss statements and balance sheets really tell you?
• What do financial trends mean to your business?
• What is the power of the break-even point?
• How does cashflow relate to your profit-and-loss statement and balance sheet?
• If the business is underperforming, how do you know where to look for the source of the problem – and how do you identify a solution?

If you wish to discuss Business Booster before the seminar date, host Alan Green is contactable on 08 8224 3300 and is happy to answer any questions you may have.
