Metro East SBDC at SIUE and YCG Accounting to Conduct Budget Strategy Workshop on July 21
The Illinois Metro East Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville will partner with Susan Young of YCG Accounting to offer practical expertise on budget strategies for small business owners. The Budget Strategy Workshop is set for Friday, July 21 from 3:30-5 p.m. at Reliance Bank, 1254 University Drive in Edwardsville.
The workshop is a 90-minute seminar designed to help business owners financially map out their company’s 3-5 year growth plan.
Young became a CPA in 1999 and specializes in helping small businesses to understand and grow their companies.
“This is an opportunity business owners will not want to miss,” said SBDC’s Jo Ann DiMaggio May, Illinois Metro East SBDC interim director. “Chambers of Commerce are encouraged to invite their members, as well as other business-building and networking organizations.”
There is a $15 fee to attend the information packed session. Space is limited, so reserving a spot as soon as possible is advised. Every participant will receive a copy of The E Myth book, “Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It.”
For details and to register, call 618-650-2929. Registration begins at 3 p.m. the day of the event.
