Description

The Virtual CFO Series

Is getting your required CPE every year a struggle because of distance or scheduling constraints?  Executive Education’s Virtual CFO Series allows you to get an entire year’s worth of CPE from the convenience of your home or office with a time commitment of just 100 minutes per week on Friday mornings.  

This classroom will include the following 4 courses:

 

Creating Better Budgets

August 24, 2018    9 am Central Time

All we really know is the past, but all that really matters is the future.  How can you take the historical knowledge you have about your company, its performance, your competitors, your industry and the economy to help your company plan for the future?  In this session, John F. Levy will examine current budgeting and forecasting best practices as well as the critical roles of strategic planning and risk management in developing best projections.  He will look at the many uses of projections from cash management to compensation.

 

Know Your Cost:  Double Your Profit

August 31, 2018     9 am Central Time

Companies with poor cost information make bad decisions about products that are not “average”.  Poor information causes companies to overprice easy, high-volume “gravy” products and underprice difficult, low-volume “dog” products.  Regardless of whether your company sells goods or services, learn how to double your profit by giving the dogs to your competitor and keep the gravy for yourself.

 

Cash Management Strategies

September 7, 2018     9 am Central Time

Cash management skills are timeless and never go out of style.  This session shares strategies to get financing as well as tips and tricks to manage cash in the short and medium term.  Building credibility with your bank by demonstrating a strong understanding of your cash flow needs makes you an excellent spokesperson for your business. 

 

Corporate Finance:  Valuing a Business

September 14, 2018     9 am Central Time

How do you value a business? This session discusses various business valuation methods whether for a start-up, spin-off, or acquisition at any stage. Many valuation methods exist. Which method is right? Which is the 'best' for a given business? Program content includes crucial topics such as: The absolute single best metric, The Cost of Capital - The capital asset pricing model  WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital), Valuation methodologies (income, asset and market approaches), Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) and many more.  CPAs and Corporate Financial Managers can’t afford to miss this course.

"I'm a retired State auditor with the State of Florida. This course was very interesting and helpful to those still in business. I really enjoy the ACPEN format of having a discussion not just a straight lecture. Mr. Flores asks a lot of thoughtful questions that add to the speaker's presentation and he relates to the audience background very well. Thank you!"
