Presentation Description:

A company’s numbers can be a complex topic, sometimes challenging to understand what numbers are significant, other than just what I have to get to the accountant. You will walk out of this workshop/seminar to better understand the need, importance, and excitement of using your numbers. Even if you don’t like what they tell you right now. You will leave with a new excel spreadsheet tool to better understand your numbers, how to use them, why they are essential, and how to hold them, your team, and yourself accountable in a way that won’t hurt.

Elevator Pitch

Math is simple; one and one always equal two; that’s easy. Why it should equal two is the part of the equation that can get complicated, especially on your business spreadsheet. We will learn how to look at the spreadsheet, analyze the numbers as percentages, and learn to recognize the warning signs or praise the good news.

Learning Objectives:
