The Go Succeed Start team hosts this in-person ‘Understanding Basic Bookkeeping’ masterclass; a gentle, practical introduction to your business numbers.

If bookkeeping has ever felt intimidating or confusing, you’re not alone. But understanding your business numbers is one of the most powerful steps you can take toward running a more confident, successful business.

Understanding Basic Bookkeeping is a beginner-friendly workshop designed to help you build clarity, not complexity. Whether you’re a sole trader, small business owner, or creative entrepreneur, this session will give you a calm, clear path into the financial side of your business — without overwhelm.

In this workshop, we’ll explore:

• What bookkeeping actually is (and why it matters)
• The key reports every business owner should understand
  (Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow)
• Tracking income and expenses the smart, simple way
• Separating business and personal finances
• Common mistakes and how to avoid them
• Tools and systems to make things easier (not harder)

You’ll walk away with a stronger grasp of how your business earns, spends, and grows - and the confidence to make more informed decisions moving forward.

This is for you if:

• You want to feel more in control of your finances
• You’ve been “winging it” with spreadsheets or apps
• You want to understand what your accountant is talking about
• You believe in building a business that supports your life, not stresses you out

Join us for a supportive space to learn the basics — and begin building your financial confidence.
