LBM Financial Fluency Path

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.
