@ConnorAbene Couldn’t agree more. Hard to build a stable company on a DIY foundation. Getting the financial numbers right from the beginning is so important!

[Ben Bramer @usepinto]

@ConnorAbene These are great metrics. I put my focus on cash reserves, burn rate and operating cash flow. 100% agree it’s far more important than net income

Horrific books and fraudulent financials

What is the number one fear of business buyers?

That the employees will walk off the job on the day one.

This is a theoretical risk that almost never manifests.

What are your best practices to ensure this doesn't happen?

@dvassallo Would love to chat. We help small businesses primarily with bookkeeping and financial forecasting. Our differentiator is our monthly report where we use video to breakdown your financials, check out a sample here: https://t.co/WPpZXKYrTo

Keep track of your widget sales and reach your break-even point to know you're on the right track.

Break-even point = Total fixed costs / (Sales Price Per Unit - Variable costs per unit)

A burning question that small business owners have is "When will we actually make money and start to see a profit?"

One way to determine this is by finding your company's break-even point.

[Ben Bramer @usepinto]

▶ (Break-even point) 500 widgets = (total fixed costs) $1,000 / (sales price per unit) $2

This means once you've sold 500 widgets, you'll have covered all your costs and will start making a profit!

(1/5) Having a clear and organized system for tracking financial transactions is crucial. One way to achieve this is through a chart of accounts.

(3/5) It's essential to have a clear and concise chart of accounts to easily understand your financial statements. Without one, it becomes challenging to manage your finances effectively.

Small business owners, how do you make financial decisions?

Are you confident in the accuracy and usefulness of your financial data, or do you find it challenging to interpret the numbers?
