If you are running a small to medium-sized business and would like to learn how to take the mystery and uncertainty out of financial management, join Judith Pineault for an informative and de-mystifying workshop.

In this 90-minute session, you will learn about the important financial tools that will help you grow your business profitably and sustainably.
