We're excited to bring you our next One to Some workshop called Understanding Your Profit & Loss Statement.
This workshop is designed for owner-led small to medium businesses with little or no financial background. It will support you to better understand the story behind your numbers, make more informed decisions, improve profitability, and gain greater control of your business.
If this sounds like you, get in quick because there are only 15 spots available. Click the link in our comment section to fill out the validation form, and the team at WellingtonNZ will be in touch with next steps and to confirm your funding eligibility.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
✅ Understand a Profit & Loss Statement with more confidence and use it as a management tool to aid decision making going forward.
✅ Know what Gross Profit and Net Profit are and what they can tell you about your business.
✅ Know what actually drives profit (and what erodes it).
✅ Better understand pricing and how it is affected hugely by your labour costs, material costs, and overhead costs.
✅ Structure your pricing so that your business is profitable...not just busy.
✅ Know what the difference is between mark-up vs margin and which you should use.
✅ Know what key information you should track and measure in your Profit & Loss Statement each month.
