Thank you! I've been studying financials for ages and I had yet to actually comprehend why Profit/Loss and Cash Flow statements were necessary, how to create them, and how they differed. Excellent process explanation for stocktake and COGS/margins as well. I'm 80% funded now but I still needed a little more insight into my margins and the process of leasing a location. This course made it easy to understand and my confidence that I'll succeed is at an all-time high. I cannot begin to thank you enough!
