Revenue, COGS, and Overhead, Oh My!

Understanding Your Numbers Without Getting Lost in the Math

You’re making sales, paying bills, and keeping the business moving, but do you really know where the money is going?

This practical, jargon-free session will help you better understand the numbers behind your business. We’ll break down revenue, cost of goods sold, overhead, profit, and cash flow using straightforward examples that make sense for real small businesses.

You’ll learn how to:

• Recognize the difference between sales and actual profit

• Understand what it truly costs to deliver your product or service

• Identify overhead expenses that may be eating into your earnings

• Use a few simple numbers to make better pricing and spending decisions

• Spot potential cash-flow problems before they become emergencies

No accounting background is required. Bring your questions, a calculator, and a willingness to take a closer look at what your numbers are telling you.

Bonus: On-Site Office Hours –  Limited appointment slots available!
