Confident Cashflow & Bookkeeping Essentials for Small Businesses

Many small trading businesses excel at their craft but feel far less confident when it comes to understanding their numbers. If that sounds familiar, this workshop is designed specifically for you.

Hosted at the hive, this practical, supportive session is delivered by Albert Goodman Chartered Accountants, who work closely with businesses across the region. Recent insights show that many traders operate without a clear understanding of their financial position, cashflow patterns, or the support options available to them.

The session is ideal for business owners who want more confidence with their numbers - whether you’re already trading, running a small team, or just getting ready to launch. It’s also a valuable head start for pre‑start businesses looking to build strong financial habits from day one and avoid the common pitfalls that hold new ventures back.

What You’ll Learn

A focused, accessible introduction to the financial foundations every trading business needs:

• Cashflow Confidence: Learn how money moves through your business, why cashflow matters more than profit, and how to anticipate pressure points before they hit.
• Simple, Effective Financial Structuring: Understand the essential building blocks of a well‑organised financial setup - from separating accounts to knowing what “good” looks like for a small trading operation.
• Current & Future Business Considerations: Have a full awareness of current and future responsibilities and requirements as a business owner.
• Clarity on Your True Financial Position: Gain insight into what your numbers are really telling you and how to use them to make confident decisions.

Q&A Included: The session includes dedicated time for questions in a supportive environment.

Eligibility criteria: This workshop is fully-funded by North Somerset Council for residents and businesses in the North Somerset area only.
