About this Event
Accounting and finance might not feel as urgent as developing your MVP or finalizing your go-to-market strategy, but they are crucial when raising money and scaling your startup. In this workshop, Keith Davidson, Managing Principal at CLA and a seasoned startup CFO, will guide you beyond the buzz of startup culture to focus on building a solid financial foundation. Learn how to prepare for fundraising, manage accounting and tax requirements, and ensure your startup’s financial infrastructure is ready to support your growth and success.
