NCRI: Navigating Financial Statements

Navigating Financial Statements helps entrepreneurs build confidence when applying for capital by understanding the financial documents funders rely on. Participants learn how income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements work together and why they matter in funding decisions. This workshop will be led by Justin Hanson, CPA, CFE, guest speaker and subject matter expert, who brings practical experience translating financial information into clear, funder‑ready insight.

Whether you are preparing for your first loan, exploring SSBCI‑supported funding, or simply want to feel more confident with your numbers, this session provides clarity, structure, and actionable next steps.

As part of the Northshore Capital Ready Initiative, an SSBCI Technical Assistance program with Louisiana Economic Development, we are hosting a series of interactive workshops designed to help entrepreneurs strengthen their business foundations, explore capital pathways, and prepare for capital conversations.
