Cashflow Canvas: An Easier Way to Manage Your Financials
2025-07-22 09:00 - 10:00, 2025-07-23 09:00 - 10:00, 2025-07-24 09:00 - 10:00
When you have a clear picture of your business financials, you can make better decisions, find opportunities, and plan for the future. Unfortunately, 82% of small business owners go bust because they don’t know how to build or balance a budget.
WeBC has partnered with Taunya Woods Richardson, Founder of Nail the Numbers, who has created the Cashflow Canvas, a colour-coded tool that breaks down the budgeting process into eight easy-to-understand building blocks. Modelled after the Business Model Canvas (a tool that outlines your business model on one page), the Cashflow Canvas helps you transfer your financial data into a pro forma that’s as easy as painting by numbers.
This summer, we’re hosting a webinar series to teach women entrepreneurs how to use this simplified tool to get a clear picture of your financials. The interactive series takes you through each section of the Canvas, to draft your numbers then build your own palette.
This series will give you the knowledge and confidence to:

Record when revenue and income are received
Scale your expenses and balance your bank account
Identify your working capital needs and budget for loan repayment

3 Virtual Sessions | July 22, 23, 24 | 9am to 10am PT
Cost: $80; free for WeBC Loan Clients and Vancity Women Entrepreneur Program Clients
Facilitator: Taunya Woods Richardson, Founder + CEO, Nail The Numbers
