Financial Statements 2: How to Use Them - Carlsbad 5-3-13

Have the numbers in your financial statements always been a mystery to you? Many businesses have failed simply because the owners did not understand what their financial statements were telling them.

Your financial statements provide an invaluable feedback mechanism showing the results of your business decisions, and they help you determine further questions you should be asking yourself and what corrective actions you might need to take.

Learn how to read the story that your business’ financial statements are telling you. We’ll sift through the myriad numbers to discover the relevant information that is vital to your running a successful business. You’ll make more informed and better business decisions once you understand what’s really happening in your business.

If you’re already in business or have projected financial statements for a new business, bring your current or projected financial statements with you and, time permitting, SCORE mentors will be available after the workshop to help you understand them.

Registration Fee:

Featuring:
Tom Baumann earned an MBA degree from San Diego State and began his career with the “Big Eight” accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand. After spending three years on the audit staff auditing large multinational companies, Tom transferred to the Emerging Business Services Department to work with startups in the accounting and finance area. He left the firm to join one of his clients, a start-up company in the computer industry. Two years later Tom became the CFO of a small local company that imported women’s apparel from 15 different countries for sale to U.S. retailers, including Wal-Mart, JC Penney and The Limited. During his tenure the company went public with sales reaching $150 million. He was responsible for all accounting and finance functions, including securing a $60 million line of credit, investor relation activities and SEC reporting. After eleven years with this company, Tom became the CFO of a manufacturer of hair care products sold to the beauty salon industry. When sales reached $85 million the business was sold to a large German company. Tom was instrumental in negotiating the sale of the company. He retired five years after Procter and Gamble acquired the German parent and moved the local operations to Los Angeles.
