TIPS
Close the books on time and accurately
Waiting long periods of time to see operational results means lost time for the business owner in responding to problems and opportunities.
Know the financial profile of you business
Knowing the profile of the business such as profitability, "pipeline" of potential revenue, overhead burden, "burn rate" (cost to run the business for a designated period of time), etc. means also being prepared to take advantage of opportunities to improve profitability or expand the customer base. More importantly it gives foresight to protect vulnerable aspects of the business. A knowledgeable business leader knows how decisions will affect profitability, what the cash flow situation looks like for the next 3 months, and how to manage the top 5 expense items.
Avoid surprises in cash needs
Weekly or monthly cash flow reports show in detail the inflow from receivables and outflow of expenses so that excess cash is predicted and invested or shortages are addressed in advance. Set up lines of credit and loans when business is strong rather than when the funds are needed, approval is risky and terms are unfavorable.
Manage costs effectively in vendor, financing, and banking relationships
Make good lease vs buy decisions, know when to outsource, and how to keep overhead costs down.
Quantify business goals
Create a financial plan or budget that can be compared to actual results to help you reach your business targets.
