Do you know what numbers you should be looking at each week in your business? Do you say that ‘you hate numbers’ or ‘you are no good at maths’? Or do you feel shame about the state of your books and the level of clarity you have around your business metrics? Enter Bec Buchanan, accountant, bookkeeper and the host of podcast Straight Up Small Business (we highly recommend this poddy).
This Masterclass will help you feel more informed and more confident about what numbers you should be reflecting on in your business regularly, so you can make better financial decisions for greater strategic success. Chris and Bec will do a fireside Q&A-style chat where you can ask questions, but you will also learn about what holds most entrepreneurs back when it comes to running their business with clear financial metrics (you might be surprised!).

– What a business dashboard or scorecard looks like (what numbers to look at / how frequently to look at them)
– Easy ways to make Xero work harder for you
