Finance 101: The Numbers That Actually Matter

Most F&B founders are brilliant at their craft, but the financial side can feel like learning a foreign language. The good news is that you don't need an accounting degree to run a financially healthy business. You just need to understand which numbers matter and how to use them to make better decisions.

This session will be run by Thea Brook and cuts through the jargon to give you practical command of your business finances. Whether you're currently guessing at pricing, unsure what your P&L is actually telling you or worried about running out of cash, you'll leave with the clarity to make confident financial choices.

You'll learn:

- How to read your P&L and spot the story it's telling about your business health
- The difference between profit and cash (and why it matters more than you think)
- Simple forecasting techniques to anticipate challenges before they become crises
- Stock accounting basics that prevent costly mistakes

This isn't about becoming an accountant. It's about having the financial literacy to scale sustainably without the late-night panic about whether you can make payroll.
