@Michael_Haddad0@emollick agreed. i speak with 2 ceo's of combined $43m size companies and one has zero AI footprint and the other only has 1 pull of 3 marketplace sales data combined into one repository. it's still a greenfield, IMO
@bunbeau Undercharging plus scope creep is how retainers quietly lose money. A floor on price and a clear out-of-scope rule beats hoping the next month makes it up
@MisicAccounting That’s the right checklist. Owner draws and cash flow get skipped more often than the tax filings, and that’s where year-end surprises come from
Soft jobs print cooled rate-hike talk. Markets closed green: S&P +0.7%, Nasdaq +1.2%, Dow +0.5%. Nike slipped on China demand. WDC and STX both ~-10% after a Toshiba HDD capacity report. S&P still slightly red for the week.
Not sure what I did? I had to get an email with a code. Makes me think about my $5k in XMoney, for zero reason this could happen, would I lose access to my money? If so, that will make me think seriously about the fact that w/o notice or any change of mine, I was locked out.
@TomBrown The ‘I check the lot and submit’ part is the whole game. Finding mistakes is useful. Letting it file without an owner pass is where it gets expensive
@michaelcutajar@randomacc1998@pitdesi For a lot of owner-run companies under a few million, that model beats a part-time bookkeeper who never sees the cash picture. Just don’t outsource the numbers and the judgment
@InfiniaFunction Sales without job profitability and cash timing is why the next hire feels like a coin flip. Getting a line before you need it is the part most people skip
@AmusingVentures Fixed price against a floating input cost is a classic margin trap. I’d floor the price to the ugly-case unit cost, or put volume commitments / tiered pass-through on the table before you grow into the gap.
