July WeRISE

Profit, Cash, and Clarity

Tuesday, July 14, 2026
In-Person and Virtual

Most entrepreneurs know they should look at their numbers — but fear, confusion, and "I’ll deal with it later" keep getting in the way. In this hands-on 45-minute session, Stephanie Matlock breaks down the two reports every business owner needs to understand: the Profit & Loss statement and the Cash Flow worksheet. No accounting degree required.

No balance sheets. Just real tools, plain language, and a simple framework you can start using the same week. You’ll leave with a completed cash flow worksheet, a monthly money habit, and one rule that protects your income — so you can stop guessing and start leading with your numbers.

Key Takeaways:

How to read a Profit & Loss statement in plain English and the one question it can’t answer on its own
Why profit and cash are not the same thing, and how understanding the difference can protect your business from an empty bank account even in a "good" month
A simplified cash flow framework you can do every month, inflows, outflows, and what’s left, built around the way your business actually works
The Three Buckets habit has a simple, realistic system for setting aside money for taxes, paying yourself, and building a cushion, even if you’re just starting out
