This is a working lunch facilitated by Stacey Price of Healthy Business Finances.

Usually finance is the most hated task in a business, but one of the most important to get right. With the right systems in place, it becomes easier to stay on track, make important business decisions, and help build and grow your business to the next level. Stacey coaches and educates business owners to become friends with their numbers. “I don’t want business owners to fear their numbers – I want them to embrace and understand the numbers. I want business owners to feel in control of their financial position. I want business owners to have streamlined processes and less stress. And I want to have fun doing it!”

Catherine Cervasio is an inspiring and highly successful business woman. Twenty years ago, she launched Aromababy, the world’s first research-based natural and organic brand for mothers and babies; the idea arising while Catherine was pregnant with her first son. Catherine’s concept was the first of its kind. It created a whole new category with many brands following suit, although not having the same multi-million dollar achievement as her. Needless to say, the brand she created from scratch twenty years ago has now gone global.
