Did you ever consider a balance sheet as a window into your business’s financial strength? Your business’ financial statements can do more than provide you with details about your company’s profit and loss.

On May 19 the featured speaker at the Business for Breakfast series at the Meridian Technology Center for Business Development will be Bill Hinton, Chief Financial Officer at HostBridge Technology. Hinton will share how business owners or entrepreneurs can make the most of their balance sheet during his presentation “Using Your Financial Statement Information to Improve Your Business.”

During the event Hinton will discuss how understanding financial statements can help a company:

• Improve business processes
• Identify trends
• Spot potential issues early
• Understand what bankers and investors are looking for financially
