Finance

  1. Bringing in more revenue always trumps cutting expenses
  2. Most CPA’s are focused on taxes, find one focused on business
  3. Keep 6 months cash on hand; you never know when you’ll need it
  4. Bankers are there to sell; never think they’re your friend
  5. Bankers don’t understand your business — you need to tell them the story
  6. Always shop rates (insurance, interest, etc); you never know when you’ll need those relationships
  7. Start the insurance renewal process 2-3 months before it expires
  8. Build relationships with your customers before you’re asking for money
  9. Your reporting is only as good as your underlying data
  10. If you don’t understand your financial statements, you’re at the mercy of your Accountants
  11. The number of levels at a company almost always directly correlates with how quickly you’ll get paid
  12. Revenue growth should outpace economy & industry growth
  13. Profits won’t always go up, but you must always understand why they did what they did
  14. Cash flow is what really matters
  15. Shrinking Gross Margins are a HUGE problem — address them immediately
  16. Not having a (receivables) collection process is a great way to not collect your money
  17. Reconcile your bank account weekly; you’ll never understand your business more than this
  18. Capital expenditures will drain your cash when you need it the most; always have a capital plan
  19. A detailed budget is the best way to force staff to plan their year; having to justify expenses will make them identify what’s really important so you can focus on that instead of their 10 initiatives
  20. Never assume someone understands the numbers; they won’t ask, so always explain
  21. Feed your best employees with bigger tasks
  22. Always give deadlines and repeat them
  23. When training, tell them (verbally), show them (visually), and let them (tactically)
  24. Always ask for the contract
  25. Organized files take time, but they’ll save you at the inevitable audit
  26. Auditors want to see patterns; show them the pattern of you having your stuff together
  27. Numbers are a sensitive subject, so speak the truth clearly; beating around the bush helps no one
  28. Be willing to pay for IT, but never give them a blank check
  29. Everyone is guessing in inventory management
  30. Always be looking for funding and debt options; waiting until you need it is too late
