SUMMARY:Know Your Numbers\, Open the Door to Capital: Getting Financial-Statement Ready for Growth
DESCRIPTION:Business owners scaling past the $1.5 million mark are often capital-ready in every way except one: their financials. Join Garrick Bradley II\, CPA\, Founder & CEO of Bradley Financial Services\, for a practical session on what your financial statements actually communicate to lenders and investors\, how consistent bookkeeping strengthens your position before you ever apply for funding\, and what “capital-ready” really looks like. Garrick will walk through a client example of a business that was actively seeking financing but got stuck because their books weren’t in order. Attendees will leave with a clear picture of the financial documentation lenders expect and practical next steps to get there. \nFeatured Speaker: Garrick Bradley II  \nGarrick Bradley II\, CPA\, is the Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Bradley Financial Services\, LLC\, a Chicago-based accounting and advisory firm serving small businesses\, entrepreneurs\, and nonprofits. A graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in accounting\, Garrick began his career at Grant Thornton before becoming a CPA in 2017. He has since led financial due diligence and audit engagements for organizations ranging from $50\,000 to over $1 billion in revenue. Garrick is a frequent presenter and moderator on financial literacy and access-to-capital topics\, including a 2025 bookkeeping webinar series and the January 2026 Access to Capital Ecosystem Panel Discussion with Sunshine Enterprises and Credit to Capital. \nPart of The Source x WBDC Webinar Series
