Judith Cane

Judith speaks the language of money and it is a language we can all understand. There is no trumped up and inflated verbology, just the simple language of how to work on debt flow, cash flow and solutions. Judith specializes in financial planning for self-employed business people. “Every great journey begins with a solid plan. My goal is to help clients find out where they are, where they want to go and the best way to get there. Planning for peace of mind. ”“The number one reason solopreneurs fail in business the first 5 years is because of money. The number one rule of successful solopreneurs is to keep your personal finances separate from your business finances. That’s the strategy you will learn from Judith Cane

In this workshop, you will:
Create your personal spending & savings plan to determine your income needs.
Generate a 12 month “smoothed out” cash flow.
Set up a bank account structure to ensure CRA doesn’t come calling.
