Financial avoidance is one of the most documented behavioral patterns among small business owners. Research from the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (2022) found that businesses without basic financial tracking are 3x more likely to close within 5 years. This session gives participants the knowledge, and the emotional permission, to open their books.
