  EPCC is excited to offer this Education Series on first Wednesdays. We kicked things off with a 3 part series about crafting a business plan; next we will dive into business logistics. 

  August's Education Series will focus on financial basics. Whether you are just getting started as a business or you are ready for a refresher, this will be important information for you!

  First, we will welcome Sandra Vincent with The Bookkeeping Company to give us a bookkeeping 101 presentation. She will cover things like getting started with bookkeeping, working with a CPA, and prepping for tax season.

  Then we will hear from Jocelyn Furbush with Livelihood NW. Jocelyn's presentation will give you financial empowerment. She will walk us through how to understand and use your Profit and Loss reports, balance sheets, and cash flow reports.

  At this meeting, we will be learning about the Preferred Worker Program of Oregon  - a program that promotes re-employment of qualified workers called preferred workers. The objective of the program is to help-assist injured workers to stay or return to the workforce. The program gets funds from worker and employer payments into the Worker’s Benefit Fund (WBF). Employers can save money, increase their productivity and safety by hiring preferred workers.
