Course: Understanding Financial Statements

Financial statements are like the financial dashboard of your business. They tell you where your money is going, where it’s coming from, and how much you’ve got to work with. They’re super helpful for making smart business moves. And they’re 100% necessary if you want to get a loan or bring on investors.

When you know how to read your financial statements, you can find ways to make more profit, expand your business, or catch problems before they grow.
