SBIDC Plan for Growth: Finance Edition

Building an independent business takes grit, gumption, and community! Your business is more than a bottom line, and if the state of your finances are crowding your head space, now is the time to take a deep breath and tackle it—with a little help. If you’re ready to bring your business acumen to the next level, join SBIDC (Sunset Park-based nonprofit) this January-March 2025 for Plan for Growth: Finance Edition!

This program of six high-impact classes covers the A to Z of what small business owners need to know about business finance & accounting. You’ll finally have answers to all your questions like:

Is my Profit & Loss report accurate?
How can my business be more profitable?
Why is my business profitable on paper but my bank balance doesn’t show it?
What are the best ways to categorize my spending?
Am I using Quickbooks properly?

Under the guidance of instructor Elli Papadopoulos, Founder of Skopos Collective, a Fractional CFO and Advisory firm, you’ll develop the confidence to make numbers-based decisions and build your business intuition to maximize the effectiveness and profitability of your unique business. You already have your numbers—you just need the right approach and toolkit to analyze them. We got you!

This educational opportunity is coupled with one consultation (90 minutes) from Skopos Collective to apply the class concepts to your business. You will also have the chance to completely revamp your financial structure and share it with your peers (fellow Brooklyn entrepreneurs) for feedback and conversation!

The deadline to submit applications is Monday, January 13, 2025. All applications are to be submitted at bit.ly/PFGFINEDITION.
