Networking Event for Women in Business

Financial Management for Growing Your Business

A good financial management system is essential for the day to day running of a business and also to make sound decisions about growing the enterprise.  Gone are the days when receipts could be kept in a shoebox and given to the accountant at the end of the year.  For small businesses especially, cash is king and in order to succeed the business owner must be aware of the financial state of the business.

Prudent decisions about future development cannot be made without a basic understanding of the financial health of a business.  The next Catalyst Women in Business networking event in Cobh will look at financial management for growing your business.

The speaker at the event will be Mary Power who is a Partner at Westboro Partners in Cork City since 2006.  A graduate of UCC, Mary qualified as an Accountant (ACA) with Chartered Accountants Ireland in 1999, and joined Westboro Partners in 2000.  More recently, Mary completed the Diploma in Forensic Accounting with Chartered Accountants Ireland.

Mary is a highly experienced business advisor, working with clients on a range of accountancy services including taxation, financial management, audits, accounting and financial reporting.  As well as accountancy services, Mary is specialised and qualified in the area of Forensic Accounting, and regularly works with clients on legal issues, both personal in the case of family law or loss of earnings, as well as professional in the area of commercial disputes.  Mary has also developed a specialisation in the field of franchises, and has worked with both master franchisers and franchisees on many occasions.

This event is part of the SECAD Catalyst project which provides opportunities for women to build connections with other business women and aspiring entrepreneurs throughout South & East Cork. The Catalyst Project in Cobh was established in association with Cobh & Harbour Chamber.

The event also provides an opportunity to publicise your business so bring your business cards, flyers and brochures.

This event will take place on Wednesday, 21^st September in Sirius Arts Centre, Cobh at 6.30 pm.  We look forward to meeting you and we would be delighted if you would let other women in business know about the event and encourage them to attend.
