Financial Performance & Forecasting Cons...

Nana Bonsu
About this episode

Today on Build Value By Choice, Nana is joined by Mark Crowley to discuss financial performance and forecasting considerations for retirement, business sale, and business transfer. Mark has over 30 years experience, is a Partner at B2B CFO and provides strategic guidance to small business owners to help them overcome the financial challenges they face.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Most people get into business because they have a passion and have value they can add for their customers, they don’t get into business to do administration. Mark’s first piece of advice is to think through what you want and what information you need from your financial situation for your business to operate. 
  • Mark’s second piece of advice is to organize your books and records in a way that provides you the information you now know you need and makes it easily accessible. 
  • Things move fast for small business owners and they have to wear a lot of hats and make a lot of decisions so they need good information to be able to make those decisions. 
  • All of Mark’s clients have at least a 13 week forecast of rolling cash flow. He chose 13 weeks because you’re always looking one quarter ahead. This allows you to react to potential problems ahead of time. 
  • A lot of business owners don’t plan correctly for their transition or sale, this leads them to getting less than they may have expected. If you set up your business in a way that is not overly dependent on one person through systems and processes you will be able to achieve a better sales result. 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Begin with the end in mind’

‘Most business owners don’t look ahead to what information they will need’

‘It’s rewarding in the small business environment because you can watch the business owner become more successful’
