Financial Statement Facelift
Improving your financial statements for presentation to lenders or equity partners
 Owners typically have their own understanding of the financial performance of their business, which is not always apparent to outside parties.

Let your financial statements "speak for themselves" by improving classification, descriptions and presentation.
Presenter: Kelly Drouillard, Principal, Quivira Capital, LLC
Tuesday, April 26, 2011
8:30 - 10:00 AM
