LBM Financial Fluency Path
October 1, 2026 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
(CDT)
Description
NEW - 10-Part Virtual Learning Series with industry consultant Emily Overson.
Format includes three live, interactive sessions, along with seven recorded sessions to watch independently.
Every decision your team makes eventually shows up on your financial statements. Purchasing decisions. Inventory management. Pricing. Cash flow. Gross margin. Vendor partnerships. They're all connected.
The challenge is that many owners, managers, and future leaders influence profitability every day without fully understanding how those decisions impact the financial health of the business. The LBM Financial Fluency Path™ was created specifically for independent lumber and building material dealers who want to build financial confidence—not become accountants.
You'll learn how to interpret financial information, understand what's driving the numbers, and make better operational decisions that improve profitability, cash flow, and long-term business value.
Participants will learn how to:
Read and interpret financial statements with confidence
Understand how daily operational decisions affect profitability
Improve cash flow without relying solely on increased sales
Make better purchasing, inventory, pricing, and vendor decisions
Use financial ratios and KPIs to identify opportunities before problems develop
Build budgets and profit plans that support strategic growth
Strengthen communication between operations, sales, and accounting
Lead with greater financial confidence and make better business decisions
The program combines recorded learning with live virtual sessions for discussion, questions, and practical application.
