SUMMARY:Wrapping Up 2023: Tax Time! Is Your Business Ready?
DESCRIPTION:Feeling that familiar twinge of anxiety about getting your books done for tax season? Opted to file for an extension again? Do you have questions that need answers to help get you going? \nThen join Evergreen and Elli Papadopoulos\, founder of Skopos Collective for a lunch conversation to make sure you have the basics covered to wrap up your 2023 books and file your taxes in time. We will open the conversation by running through a checklist of things that need to be completed to successfully close out the year. \nBring your questions\, confusion and stress\, and leave feeling motivated to close your 2023 financial tasks already! \nAbout Skopos: \nSkopos offers independent designers\, modern manufacturers\, and mission-driven businesses the financial clarity needed to grow. With a human approach to numbers\, our goal is to uplift the small businesses that bring character to our communities by giving business owners better control of their finances\, empower them with easy-to-use systems\, and connect them to capital. \nAbout Elli Papadopoulos:\nElli brings over 25 years of experience working with small businesses. In 2015\, she founded Skopos Collective after spending seven years as an SBA loan underwriter with the Grow America Fund\, a non-profit lender. What she quickly learned was that too many small business owners are in the dark about their own finances. She became frustrated with having to decline small business loan requests due to inadequate financials\, lack of clear planning\, and limited cash flow. Now she works with business owners to get their financial house in order\, maximize profitability (without sacrificing their business values)\, strategize their growth\, and connect them to good funding. \nDate:\nWednesday\, March 13\, 2024\n12:30 – 1:30 PM\nOn Zoom \nFREE! To register and submit questions in advance click here.   \nIf you have any questions please contact Natalie Vichnevsky.

SUMMARY:Break-Even Extravaganza!!! An Evergreen Seminar Series - Session Five
DESCRIPTION:Break-Even Extravaganza!!! The one decision-making formula to rule them all.\nAn Evergreen Seminar Series\nwith One-on-One Strategy Sessions   \nYou asked\, we listened! Over many years of providing business acumen classes to owners and staff of small businesses in our industrial community\, one pain point has continually arisen. This is the issue of implementation. Participants invest the time and effort into the course but then after the class is over\, do not have the structure or bandwidth to implement what they have learned. To help participants in our upcoming Break-Even Extravaganza! Seminar overcome this obstacle\, we are providing three 90-minute installments of one-on-one ‘strategy session’ assistance to each participating business in parallel with the classwork. This valuable time is designed to make the lessons actionable for your business and see you follow through! \nAre you pricing products in the dark? Wondering how to make your business more profitable? Thinking about giving your team a raise but unsure how to go about it? Sounds like you’re ready for our Break-Even Extravaganza! \nBreak-even analysis is a key decision-making framework used by business owners and managers to analyze profitability\, set sales goals\, and control costs. It is often done to evaluate how practical a business idea\, investment\, new hire\, or other growth initiative is\, and whether or not it is worth pursuing. Join Evergreen and Elli Papadopoulos of Skopos Collective for this five-session seminar\, augmented by one-on-one strategy sessions\, and learn to apply break-even analysis to your business decisions. Minimize the stress of managing your finances by taking the guesswork out of the equation! \nIn this five-class series\, you’ll develop the confidence to make numbers-based decisions that maximize the effectiveness and profitability of your business. You already have your numbers—you just need the right approach and tools to help analyze them. \nThe course is free but spots are limited. This seminar is both an online and in-person course- with in-person sessions taking place at the Evergreen offices at 2 Kingsland Ave. In both environments\, the class will be interactive and attendees will be expected to participate. \nIn addition\, this seminar includes three 90-minute one-on-one strategy sessions (via Zoom) to work through the class materials in a private setting and apply the Break Even framework to a business scenario of your choosing\, the findings of which you will share with your peers! \nFull details and instructor bio can be found here. \nThe application can be found here. Applications are due by October 19\, 2023. Course starts October 26\, 2023. \nPlease direct any questions about this course or the application to Natalie Vichnevsky.

SUMMARY:Preparing for Complex Disaster Response: Industrial Business Threats
DESCRIPTION:Please join Evergreen and World Cares Center’s founder Lisa Orloff on November 29th at Noon\, as she presents Preparing for Complex Disaster Response. \nAccording to the Federal Emergency Management Agency\, 40% of small and mid-sized businesses never reopen after a natural disaster\, and an additional 25% reopen but fail within a year. A good disaster plan means fewer days out of business\, better communication with customers\, and a better settlement from your insurance company. In this session World Cares Center founder\, Lisa Orloff\, will present a wide range of threats specific to industrial businesses in North Brooklyn from flooding to active shooter events and training that can help prevent\, respond to\, and recover from All Hazards.

SUMMARY:Break-Even Extravaganza!!! An Evergreen Seminar Series - Session Four
DESCRIPTION:Break-Even Extravaganza!!! The one decision-making formula to rule them all.\nAn Evergreen Seminar Series\nwith One-on-One Strategy Sessions   \nYou asked\, we listened! Over many years of providing business acumen classes to owners and staff of small businesses in our industrial community\, one pain point has continually arisen. This is the issue of implementation. Participants invest the time and effort into the course but then after the class is over\, do not have the structure or bandwidth to implement what they have learned. To help participants in our upcoming Break-Even Extravaganza! Seminar overcome this obstacle\, we are providing three 90-minute installments of one-on-one ‘strategy session’ assistance to each participating business in parallel with the classwork. This valuable time is designed to make the lessons actionable for your business and see you follow through!   \nAre you pricing products in the dark? Wondering how to make your business more profitable? Thinking about giving your team a raise but unsure how to go about it? Sounds like you’re ready for our Break-Even Extravaganza! \nBreak-even analysis is a key decision-making framework used by business owners and managers to analyze profitability\, set sales goals\, and control costs. It is often done to evaluate how practical a business idea\, investment\, new hire\, or other growth initiative is\, and whether or not it is worth pursuing. Join Evergreen and Elli Papadopoulos of Skopos Collective for this five-session seminar\, augmented by one-on-one strategy sessions\, and learn to apply break-even analysis to your business decisions. Minimize the stress of managing your finances by taking the guesswork out of the equation! \nIn this five-class series\, you’ll develop the confidence to make numbers-based decisions that maximize the effectiveness and profitability of your business. You already have your numbers—you just need the right approach and tools to help analyze them. \nThe course is free but spots are limited. This seminar is both an online and in-person course- with in-person sessions taking place at the Evergreen offices at 2 Kingsland Ave. In both environments\, the class will be interactive and attendees will be expected to participate. \nIn addition\, this seminar includes three 90-minute one-on-one strategy sessions (via Zoom) to work through the class materials in a private setting and apply the Break Even framework to a business scenario of your choosing\, the findings of which you will share with your peers! \nFull details and instructor bio can be found here. \nThe application can be found here. Applications are due by October 19\, 2023. Course starts October 26\, 2023. \nPlease direct any questions about this course or the application to Natalie Vichnevsky.

SUMMARY:Evergreen’s Spring Seminar Series: Designing Your Chart of Accounts - Class 5
DESCRIPTION:Eighty-six percent of business owners say that wearing the “financial hat” stresses them out the most. If there is one thing that can transform your relationship with your finances\, it is the Chart of Accounts! Join Evergreen and Elli Papadopoulos of Skopos Collective for this five-session seminar and learn to customize your Chart of Accounts so it works best for your business! \nWhat is the Chart of Accounts\, and why is it so important? Your Chart of Accounts forms the basis of the most important business financial statements: the Income Statement and Balance Sheet. \nSo if you’ve looked at your P&L and struggled to understand it\, you probably need to redesign your Chart of Accounts\, which is what this class is meant to help you with. \nA Chart of Accounts revamp is also important if your business model has changed. As you launch new strategic initiatives\, develop new products\, pursue new sales channels\, develop new sourcing partnerships\, or invest in your people\, your financials should highlight such important changes. \nThis class will help you through the process of redesigning your Chart of Accounts\, which is both an art and science. We’ll begin with essential financial terminology and will show you how ‘managerial accounting’ can transform your understanding of your business finances\, from break-even analysis to pricing for profit. \nIn five weeks’ time\, you’ll have a P&L that reflects how your business operates\, and a renewed ownership of your numbers. \nThe course is free but spots are limited. This seminar is both an online and in-person course- sessions one\, two\, and four will take place online via Zoom\, and classes three and five will take place in-person at the Evergreen offices at 2 Kingsland Ave. In both environments\, the class will be interactive and attendees will be expected to participate. \nPlease direct any questions about this course or the application to Natalie Vichnevsky.
