Overview

Often career practitioners, like many Canadians, have very little understanding of finances, how credit works, and of the potential impact on their financial well-being. While we see a shift in our practice and in the workforce with more and more people self-employed, it becomes more important, especially in light of the current pandemic, to educate ourselves, and the clients we serve, on financial literacy. This new webinar series will help career practitioners who are self-employed to enhance their learning on current personal financial management practices.

• How to plan for irregular income
• How to pay yourself a consistent salary
• How to manage taxes
• Banking: accounts for the self-employed
• Build a business budget

Participants will learn how to plan for those months when income is low, but expenses remain the same or increase.

• Learn the relevance and importance of a balanced budget and its place in managing your finances
• Learn the 5 major categories that need to be in your budget and how much of your income needs to be allocated to each category
• Build your own budget using a customized template
