A smart business owner can predict what their cash balance will be 3, 6, or even 12 months down the road. This helps them to take proactive action if the projected cash doesn’t look so good. So… Build and regularly update your cash projection, monitor your anticipated cash balances, and solve any anticipated problems you see before they become actual problems.
Review your financials in December to reduce your tax burden come April. Prepay any bills possible. Buy new equipment that you’ve been putting off. Review your outstanding receivables and write off any bad debt. Meet with your accounting team for a year-end review before the year ends.
Running a small business can be complicated. However, success boils down to three simple variables. The amount of cash that leaves the business. The amount of time that passes. The amount of cash that comes back into the business.”
Understand your budget and fund your programs accordingly. Know the “why” behind all your transactions and make sure they fit into your company’s purpose.
If you pay your bills via autopay, check your statements for incorrect charges. Take a closer look at what you’re spending to see if it’s really a necessity or if it can be cut out.
