Five Ways Big Data is Useful to CFOs

This is another great article from CFO.com that talks about what we've been talking about.  There's a warning in here about over-analysis and dashboards that just aren't helpful.  That's the reason we offer our own Key Performance Indicator analysis and assist business owners in making the data useful.

Lunch and Learn, August 15

Clear Financial Solutions will be hosting a seminar about Key Performance Indicators (KPI) on August 15, 2013.

If you're not familiar with KPI tracking and analysis, this is a great opportunity to learn.  A monthly or even just a quarterly evaluation using these tools can help change a business for the better.  Some terms should sound familiar such as Receivables and Inventory, but we'll be discussing more complex figures and ratios in depth.

There's no fee to attend, and you'll have the opportunity to learn from an experienced CPA and businessman.  During his decades of accounting, Steven has served as Chief Financial Officer for businesses in many different fields from Oil and Gas to Biotech.  If you're willing to learn about KPI tracking and how it can be applied to your business, this seminar is for you.
