🎯 STARTUP STEP-BY-STEP: Ethics and Standards in Finance & Accounting 🖊 “Startups should do it Right from the Start” - quoted by Mr. Hung Tran, speaker at the "Basic Finance & Accounting for Startups" workshop. In entrepreneurship, trust is a vital foundation for achieving sustainable growth. For early-stage startups, building trust requires time, effort, and a commitment to doing things right from the start. 🔎 However, there are common mistakes startups often overlook: 💱 Failure to Maintain Accurate Financial Records Inadequate documentation of income and expenses makes it difficult to track costs, revenues, and produce accurate financial reports. 💱 Lack of Budgeting or Short-Term Financial Planning Without a budget, startups are prone to overspending and losing control over cash flow in critical early stages, leading to long-term financial strain. 💱 Insufficient Understanding of Tax Obligations Mismanagement of tax responsibilities can result in significant penalties, impacting future financial stability. 💱 Poor Capital Structure Management Startups often face challenges in defining ownership and equity distribution, complicating fundraising efforts or eventual exits. When trust from investors, customers, or teams is undermined by a lack of transparency or inaccuracies in financial management, the business risks losing not just partnerships but also opportunities for growth. Adhering to financial standards is not just a legal responsibility—it’s a strategic approach to building trust and laying the foundation for sustainable, long-term success. Workshop 1: "Basic Finance & Accounting for Startups" 🗓 Time: 15:00 - 16:00, November 28, 2024 📍 Location: Online via Google Meet 👥 Participation Fee: Free 🎯 Registration Form: https://lnkd.in/daTrc8KD
