Entrepreneurs and Small Business Owners: Take Your Businesses To The Next Level
The Shenandoah University Institute For Entrepreneurship, in partnership with the B-Cubed Program (B3) and The Walker Entrepreneurship Program, will offer four virtual Finance Workshops for entrepreneurs and small-business owners to help them evaluate their financial behaviors and create sustainable financial habits. Classes will be offered on four Tuesdays in August – Aug. 8, 15, 22, and 29 – from 11 a.m.-noon via Zoom. All workshops are free.
Classes will be taught by Jannette Gallardo, a fractional CFO strategy specialist and coach with Vitta Solutions, LLC. Gallardo brings 20 years of finance experience in strategic planning, budgeting, forecasting, cost analysis, pricing analysis, financial modeling, and mergers and acquisitions.
