Please join us for the Ask an Entrepreneur Finance Series. This is your chance to ask questions to a panel of small business owners who have mastered their finances and the volunteers that helped them get there!

For our last event our panelists will discuss the road that brought them to becoming experts on their books - from selecting systems and software, to prioritization and scheduling, and what this work has allowed them to understand about their businesses.

4pm ET / 1pm PT

Join our live webinar to learn more about pitching your business to potential investors.

Presenter will answer audience questions live.
