Whether you're an Entrepreneur or a Startup, this course guides you through your finances without accounting jargon.
This course is for those of you who are setting out on an entrepreneurial adventure and wish to dedicate their working hours to their startup, and possibly to marketing their startup, rather than creating financial statements and following some accounting course to create an income statement, they will probably never follow over the long-term.
Maybe you're just starting out as an Entrepreneur, or with a new Start-up, or as a Freelancer. Or maybe you set out some time ago, and are just realizing that maybe, just maybe, setting your finances in order would have been a good thing.
In this course, you will learn how to handle finances, money, and budgeting, from the beginning, with where to spend your money, how to spend your money, clear through to how to handle the money you earn. And you won't need to learn what EBITDA stands for, let alone recreate it for your financial statements.
