SUMMARY:Financial Systems - Class 2
DESCRIPTION:Just about everything we do in business is tied to money\, and almost all of your business-related questions — How do I set a compensation package for my new hire? How do I track their sales and pay commissions? How can I consistently estimate my services and stay on top of materials costs? — can be answered by reviewing your financials.  \nFor those of us who aren’t naturally inclined to delve into the numbers—fear not! Here’s where financial systems come into play\, and with a little organizational effort\, you’ll be able to activate and manage the various systems that drive sales\, control COGS\, and streamline operations. If you’re ready to tackle your financial systems and get your business running smoothly\, join Evergreen Exchange and Skopos Collective for a new\, five-class series all about Financial Systems Thinking!  \nWe’ll use real business examples\, frameworks\, and exercises to break down and document operational workflows\, explore solutions to challenges you’re facing\, develop personal Standard Operating Procedures and other critical tools to support daily financial operations\, and more. You’ll develop the confidence to address the pain points that affect your financial operations and\, ultimately\, your profitability. You will also have dedicated time to work directly on updating your financial systems\, and then share it with your peers in-class so you’ll be ready to bring it to your team for implementation. \nThis series combines classes with one-on-one expert advice for participants to continue the work they began in class.

Applications are due by April 22\, 2024.  \nClass Two – Thursday\, May 16\, 2024 (In-Person) \nClass Two: What’s In Your System?\nHow simple or complex is your system? What are the components? One of the main reasons business owners feel so overwhelmed with managing their Financial System is that the necessary structure\, inputs\, and processes aren’t in place. We will look to a real-world business system to see what’s possible and review how systems connect to the P&L and Balance Sheet. The Financial System Mindmap exercise will help us explore how the answers you need (outputs) and how you source information (inputs) connect to your desired outcomes. \nStrategy Session – 60 min. // In this session\, we’re going to reframe your Financial System Mindmap to show how your business operations (inputs) show up in your Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss Statement (outputs). \nPlease direct any questions about this course or the application to Natalie Vichnevsky.

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!
