JEDCO to host financial management workshop

Managing company finances and cash flow can be a difficult task, but it is the cornerstone of overall business management.  In fact, financial management drives informed decision-making and positions a company for business success. How well do you manage your company’s finances? Do you have questions about how to better manage your finances internally? The Jefferson Parish Economic Development Commission (JEDCO) is here to help!

As part of the Grow with JEDCO series, the economic development commission partnered with Simmons & White to host “Managing Company Finances: Tips & Things You Should Know.” This educational seminar will provide small and medium-size businesses with crucial information to help improve your company’s financial management program.  Keith Crawford, an expert in financial management and CEO of the Loftin Group, will cover the following topics:

• Financial Management – Why is it so important to overall business management?
• Viewing your business health through a financial prism
• Using financial management to make better decisions – How do you do it?
• The difference between financial management & accounting
• How financial management can lead to business success
