Module 5: Optimizing Your Financial Planning
To complete all the exercises in this module, you will need to gather key financial information
from your business. The figures below should be taken from a summary over an extended time
period such as a year (for example, taken from your Balance Sheet).
If you record your own finances, you will be able to access and gather the key information listed
in this document. At this stage in the course, do not be concerned if you do not yet understand
some of the terms, or cannot access this information. You can gather the information later in the
module when the terms have been explained, or check the Glossary. If you feel you need to
develop your confidence reviewing finances, you may want to consider working with a financial
advisor.
If you already work with an accountant, financial advisor, or other specialist, ask them to
complete this form with the relevant data from your business.
