Cash Flow
Recently Crawford Financial, LLC, added a life-skill workshop to its services. Most of us leave high school and are expected to 'make it in the world' but are not equipped with the knowledge or skill to be successful at the one thing that will help us - financial literacy. To help fill that gap, we now offer Cash Flow workshops to those who are interested in improving their basic understanding of how to manage and improve their finances. This workshop covers basic cash flow concepts and provides coaching in how to complete a financial statement. If you are serious about changing your current cash flow situation but don't know where to start, contact [email protected] for information about local workshops.
