Grow your cash flow

Certified Public Accountant Audrey Godwin says that one of the primary reasons businesses fail is because business owners run out of cash. “Knowing what your cash balances are today and during the next six months is essential for a healthy and sustainable business,” she said.

If your small business' cash flow needs a little TLC, attend a June 10 City of Tacoma Economic Gardening workshop. There, Godwin will give advice on how to plan and manage cash flow more efficiently. Tacoma business owners can register online for one of these free sessions—8-10 a.m. or 5:30-7:30 p.m. The workshops will be held at Evergreen State College-Tacoma Branch, 1210 6th Ave., Room 105. Parking is available in the campus lot in front of the building. Refreshments and light snacks will be served.
