Financial Management for Small Businesses
Bookkeeping, cash flow and separating your money from the company's — without hiring an accountant in year one.
What you will learn
- Keep simple, consistent books
- Forecast cash three months out
- Separate personal and business money
- Chase and collect receivables
- Handle Saudi and UAE tax requirements
About this course
Small businesses fail because cash runs out, not because they are unprofitable. This gives the owner a protective financial minimum: simple books that replace an accountant in year one, genuinely separating personal and business money, and a three-month cash forecast that shows the crunch before it arrives.
