Half Day Seminar

Quick Close Workshop

Could You, Should You, Close in One Day?

Surveys show that the average North American company completes their monthly financial statement closing in five days.  Some companies are able to close their books in one day or less.  Yet, many financial managers who are pressured to shorten financial statement preparation time sacrifice accuracy by making estimates that are nothing more than an educated guess. 

This workshop will provide attendees with methods to prepare financial information faster, better and cheaper.
