4 Concrete Steps To Improve Your Cash Flow and Profit

Too many business owners only focus on top of line growth: GETTING MORE SALES. Savvy business owners know that often the easiest path to grow their profits is to focus on their numbers. Here are 4 concrete ways to improve your cash flow and earn more profit.

WHAT IS A VIRTUAL CFO?

Simple: Your Trusted Advisor

A Virtual CFO is someone who can look at all of the numbers in your business and get them to actually make sense.

We know your business numbers don't make much sense. Cash in the bank is what really matters.

Looking at columns of numbers from your accounting system really does not give you useful BUSINESS MANAGEMENT information. Besides they look backwards - not forward.

CFO professionals are highly skilled and experienced individuals that often command over $150,000 a year in salary. This price tag can be steep for a small business to bear.

Here is where a Virtual CFO makes financial sense. They work for you but they are not full-time or on payroll.

The whole focus of a Virtual CFO is to continually improve the profitability and cash flow of your business.

“If you don’t know where you are going, you are certain to end up somewhere else.”

Yogi Berra

You might be thinking: Is it worth embarking on a strategic planning process? There are many benefits that go along with strategic planning. The key to successful strategic planning is to build in measures and implementation steps that allow you to engage your staff and monitor the results at regular intervals.

STRATEGIC PLANNING

Plan the work, then, work the plan

A goal without a plan is just a wish. We help you create the quarterly and yearly objectives to get you to your Business Goal.

Every month, you will know exactly what you need to do to achieve your goals.

THE FORMULA FOR PROFIT IS MISLEADING ...

"Sales - Expenses = PROFIT"

That formula treats profit as a left-over. Accountants even encourage business owners to MINIMIZE profit so they pay less tax.

I don't know about you but I would rather have a percentage of my Sales as CASH profit in the bank.

We help you find independence, achievement and control in your business, so that you can live the life you want.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AN ACCOUNTANT, A CPA AND A BOOKKEEPER?

A CPA is not the same as an accountant. Typically, an accountant has achieved a bachelor's degree in accounting. A CPA, or Certified Public Accountant, is a designation earned after completing specific educational and work requirements, and passing an exam.

A CPA will maintain, audit, and inspect the firm’s financial records. A CPA’s role also includes using this information to put together tax and financial reports.

While there are other things a CPA can handle for you, their expertise in tax law and compliance is a primary draw.

Bookkeepers often are responsible for some or all of an organization's accounts, known as the general ledger. They record all transactions and post debits (costs) and credits (income). They also produce financial statements and other reports for supervisors and managers.
