Event description
In the military, “CYA” meant cover your ass.
In business, it means Cover Your Assets — and your financial survival depends on it.
Most veteran entrepreneurs don’t know how to read their financial statements — and that puts them at risk.
They mix accounts.
They mistake "profit" for "cash."
They don’t know what lenders look for.
And they get blindsided by metrics they didn’t know existed.
THE DEADLY IMPACT:
→ Missed funding
→ Weak financial decisions
→ Audit issues
→ Business instability
BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION, ATTEND:
CYA Basics: Your Numbers & the Metrics That Matter
A veteran-led, straight-talk session that explains financial statements and KPIs in plain language with practical examples.
YOU’LL GAIN:
• Clear understanding of your financials
• Ability to diagnose business health
• Knowledge of the metrics lenders actually care about
• Confidence to make financial decisions grounded in data
Why This Matters:
If you want to build a business that’s fundable, stable, and built to last — you must know your numbers.
Because numbers don’t lie — but they will betray you if you don’t know how to read them.
Because being “mission-ready” in business means knowing where every dollar comes from and where it’s going.
And when you know the financial terrain, you can maneuver with confidence.
Form a school circle, grab your intel packet, and let’s get your financial house squared away.
