You work harder than you know you should. You find it hard to sleep. You toss and turn worrying about making business ends meet.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
And, I should know. I’ve been helping business owners unscramble their numbers for over 30 years. You don’t get to hang around that long without learning a thing or two about business.
When cash flow is tight, everything else in the business suffers including your health!. It's this horrible knock-on effect that quickly escalates out of control if you don't do something about it. Managing cash flow is a process that every business needs to have as part of their accounting function. This is the number one area to focus on when managing a business.
That's accountant-speak for knowing how your business is tracking at a glance. It's just like the dashboard in your car, reports tell you when you need to fuel up or if your engine is running hot. When you put accurate reporting in place you recognise the health of your business quickly and easily. You free up your time and energy for the things you actually enjoy.
Let's face it, being a business owner is a lonely journey. Everyone has an opinion and anyone can tell you what you're doing wrong. But when you have the right people around you supporting and advising you (and yes, holding you accountable to creating the business you desire) you will find the quickest and easiet way to hit every business goal you've ever had.
It’s by far the most common struggle I see. So many of us get into business because we are great at what we do.
Once you’re in business, you realise you need to know how to do so many other things from marketing to bookkeeping, social media to sales. Need I go on?. It all becomes too much and so we never really understand what our business numbers mean and how much they can tell us about the health of our business.
This is another common one. What I often see is this: as a business owner, you appoint an accountant. The accountant recommends an accounting system, eg Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks.
Your accountant or bookkeeper may even set up the accounting system for you. They give you the login and it's over to you. You know how to raise an invoice (great start by the way) and you can confirm when you get paid. Everything else though is probably all a bit like double dutch. Which leads to the next struggle…
As my Mum used to say, “If I had a nickel for every time someone thought that I’d be rich” (I grew up in Canada by the way, hence the nickel reference).
Unless you have an accountant or bookkeeper in the family (and even if they are in the family), chances are they aren’t taking care of it. By the time you figure that out things are already headed down the wrong path.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but usually the reports that are set up are cookie-cutter reports, and I'm guessing your business probably isn't selling cookie cutters.
It’s all well and good to be getting a bunch of reports. It probably looks like pages of meaningless numbers to you (well some of them will be).Â
I'm guessing that you file them away almost without looking at them. Adding to the fact that numbers aren’t your strong point to begin with and, well, is it any wonder you’re feeling overwhelmed?

"I have reached a point in my business where my method of account keeping was no longer serving me. I have an accountant and have had several bookkeepers but I realised I needed to understand more about my numbers to be able to make good business decisions. I completed Amanda Fisher's Cash Flow Mastery online course and found this to be invaluable in providing foundation concepts, advice on systems and practical tools.
