PROFIT MASTERY
Making Sense of the Numbers (in San Marcos)
|
|
Profit Mastery is one of the core programs of the Texas State SBDC program. We believe so strongly in this program that we had six of our advisors go through the process to become certified facilitators. It's a 16-hour course that helps business owners "make sense of the numbers." Finance doesn't have to be mysterious or complicated. We can teach you how to understand your financials, benchmark your performance and develop a growth plan for your business.
**Qualifies for 16 CEU credits for CPAs**
