  • Your Business Numbers Unleashed VIP Day

    Illuminate Your Business Path to Profitability

     

    Elevate your financial prowess and embark on a bespoke journey to illuminate your business path to profitability with our Numbers Unleashed VIP Day—a customisable, 1:1 experience designed for the creative mind seeking financial insights about their business.

     

    “The aim (of a VIP Day) is to achieve substantial progress or breakthroughs that would usually take much longer in traditional, spreadout sessions”

     

    Excerpt From: Julia Bernard-Robinson. Apple Books.

     

    🌟 What to Expect:

     

    Tailored Financial Insights: Dive deep into your business finances with a dedicated expert. We will review your current numbers, give you a Financial Snapshot report and explain, in plain English, your financials around pricing, margins and costs to uncover hidden potentials and dissect challenges.

     

    Craft Your Financial Strategy: We're not about cookie-cutter solutions. Together we will build a personalized financial strategy that resonates with your unique business goals and sculpt your 12 month Financial Roadmap with a budget and cash forecast that aligns with your creative vision. No unneccesary jargon, just practical guidance tailored to your creative mindset and your level of financial literacy so that you won't feel let behind or overwhelmed.

     

    Refreshment Breaks & a Gourmet Lunch: Fuel your creativity with a delicious meal while continuing the financial conversation. Connect and share insights in a relaxed, inspiring environment. Your VIP day can be virtual or live. If it is virtual, in most cases, we can still arrange for refreshments and a gourmet lunch to be delivered to you.

     

    Real-Time Implementation: Witness the transformation as we implement strategies in real-time. Troubleshoot challenges, fine-tune your action plan, and set the stage for immediate impact.

     

    A Follow Up Call: We will certainly start your 12 month Financial Roadmap, but depending on the complexity of your business, completing it may take my team up to 7 days after your VIP day, we can then book a follow up call to go through it with you.

     

    🚀 Why Numbers Unleashed?

    • Creative-Friendly Approach: Numbers Unleashed understands the artistic mind. We make finance approachable, engaging, and dare we say it, fun.
    • Real Results, Real Fast: No lengthy seminars or one-size-fits-all solutions. Get tangible results in just one day, specific to your business. We will be using structured worksheets throughout so that you'll have an engaging manual and notes for future reference.
    • Ongoing Support: The journey doesn't need to end with the VIP day. Receive post-session resources, electronic and printable templates, and optional support to keep your financial brilliance shining.

    💡 Illuminate Your Business Future:

     

    Seize this opportunity to transform your business's financial landscape. Numbers Unleashed VIP Mastery Day is your ticket to unlocking the knowledge of how to run your business successfully with indepth insights of your numbers.

     

    📆 Limited Slots Available: Book Yours Now!

     

    Ready to shine a light on your business numbers?

    Book your exclusive VIP day now and embark on a journey that blends creativity with financial acumen.

     

    Lets get practical, why do business owners need to know their numbers?

     

    When entrepreneurs and small business owners have a grip on their finances, they're able to:

    • Understand their bookkeeper or accountant - No more being puzzled by 'accountantese'.
    • Question what's going on in their business - Why has profits fallen so much in the last year?
    • Improve their cash flow and increase their profits - No wondering if there will be enough money to pay the bills or staff or yourself. Why doesn't my cash equal my profit?
    • Manage any financial risks - When you know what's risky and can take steps right away to reduce them.
    • Make plans and informed decisions that drive business growth - For example: Our biggest profit earner is coming from our sales of red headwraps. Let's see how we can put more money towards marketing those and create similar products.

    Being able to interpret your numbers provides you with the power to set your business on the right course continuously course correcting if needed.

     

     

    It's like having a CFO (Chief Finance Director/Finance Director) shining a spotlight on your business for the day

     

    Book Now - Unlock Brilliance

     

    Your Numbers Unleashed - Illuminate Your Path to Profitability. Because your numbers should tell a story, not a mystery.

     

    Note: Limited slots available. Reserve your VIP day to embark on a transformative financial journey tailored just for you.  We will craft a unique agenda based around your business finances, your goals and your challenges based on a pre-VIP Day assessment.

    '....My subsequent 1-2-1 with Ally was great to begin setting up some important financial documents, creating annual and monthly targets to check that I'm on track and make sure that I am making my business is working for me. Thank you Ally for your knowledge and encouragement'.

     

    —Clarice Price Thomas Jewellery Designer/Maker

     

    'I learned a great deal about how to put profit first, plus how to keep my artistic integrity and pursue the gap between a financially viable commercial photographic career and a flourishing art practice.

    Thanks for the financial documents - these are great! It’s really helpful to see these figures down on paper; it frees up space in my head to get on with the creativity!! Finally, I can see a financial future!'

     

    —Karen Roswell Photography

     

     

    'I met Ally in the Branson Centre of Entrepreneurship Caribbean training program for Jamaican Entrepreneurs. Going into the program, I had a basic knowledge of accounting. I wasn't confident in reading financial reports, and what reports were most beneficial in monitoring cash flow, "real profit," cost savings or waste.

     

    I wanted a financial mentor since financial planning was a valuable skill necessary to scale and grow my business, but I was not prepared for the impact Ally would have on my business and my mindset. Each week we would meet for advisory sessions, where I would outline strategies and prospects for revenue, and Ally would give advice. She stressed the importance of planning and understanding the actual cost associated with my services.

     

    Ally emphasized measuring the financial health of my business by tracking my cash flow using agile reporting templates. She coached me with demonstration and practice to understand budgeting and forecasting, that cash is king, and that there are distinct differences between sales, profits, and cash, in how they affect business growth. I no longer feel like a rookie in financial planning due to Ally's mentorship.

     

    I am more enthusiastic about reading my financials monthly because now it makes better sense for the growth of my company, and I now have better financial goals in mind. I use my accounting system differently now; ensuring accurate data input provides me with the correct reports and balances synced with my bank.

    Thanks to Ally, I can confidently use financial terms, whether basic accounting or top-level economic language when speaking with financial institutions. Ally gave me more than just financial mentorship; she gave me financial confidence and better business health''.
