From the experience of working as the CFO for hundreds of small businesses, the same trends emerged time-and-time again: Business owners that understand their numbers earn higher profits, have a lower risk of going out of business, and overall are significantly more successful than those that don't. Best practices increase efficiency, which creates time - a precious commodity we all need more of. Business owners are able to make much better wealth-building decisions if their accounting and financial management processes are working correctly. Most of the steps small business owners can take to increase their success in these areas are so easy, but nearly always neglected. Out of these experiences came The Playbook To Managing Your Business By The Numbers, created to teach business owners how to implement the fundamentals of bookkeeping and financial management in simple, plain English.
