Cashflow for creatives

Delivered by Creative Plus Business through Service NSW Business Connect.

Financial literacy and concepts like ‘cashflow’ are necessities for creative practitioners and arts workers who want to take their passion to a professional level.

Cashflow for creatives is a short online workshop designed by creative practitioners to help other artists understand and embrace the rollercoaster of income and expenses that comes with working in the arts. It’s a safe space where every question is welcome, and the mysteries of money will become a little clearer.

Participants will learn all the following, with a focus on arts practice and creative industries:

• The Famine and the Feast – weathering the ups and downs of creative income.

• The Flow of Money Out – Understanding and making realistic budgets.

• The Basics of Forecasting, and how to develop a ‘crystal ball’ for income.

• The Flow of Money In – Understanding income and how to create regularity

• Practical steps to getting financially organised

• More resources and places to go for help

Cashflow for Creatives is a relaxed and interactive online workshop that guides participants with practical tools and steps tailor made for the arts (not mysterious accounting formulas).

All participants of this workshop also receive:

• Lifetime access to a Dropbox folder jam-packed with additional resources and helpful links.

• Templates for budgets and other accounting requirements.

• Access to additional free webinars to supplement the material covered in the workshop.

• The possibility of further one-to-one business advice, mentoring and support from one of our creative industries business specialist advisors. We have a whole team ready to help!
