Core Values are the essence of a company’s identity; they support the vision and shape the culture of an organisation. Core Values cannot be plagiarised and made to fit an organisation. They need to be developed from within to be authentic to your company and your team.

The JobKeeper subsidy represents the largest single stimulus initiative ever offered to Australian business. A payment of $1,500 per fortnight for each eligible employee for a period of up to 6 months is a massive underwrite of the Australian economy and already hundreds of thousands of businesses have registered their interest to participate in the scheme. Under this scheme many businesses will be receiving tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars over the six-month period. You cannot afford to get this wrong.

How do you manage cashflow during the best of times? What about during the worst of times?

Cashflow is the pain point for many small businesses. It can single-handedly make or break your business even if you’re generally running a profitable business.
Learn the need-to-knows to improve your cashflow.

SESSION 3: FINANCIAL AWARENESS

The better you understand your business, the easier it will be to make more money.

Management decisions rely on a sound understanding of the financial implications for a business. We have developed this workshop to enable business owners to fully understand and interpret their numbers, so they have a strong foundation on which to grow their business.

We recommend this workshop to you if you are passionate about your business and want to better understand your numbers, so you can answer questions like:
1. How much profit have I made this year?
2. Why has my profit increased but I have no cash?
3. Is my cash level increasing or decreasing?
4. What is affecting my cash level?
