246: Creating Good Financial Systems

Joining me today is Kelcee Sparks with Elite Ops, and we are going to be talking about financials. This is always one of my favorite topics to talk about, and so I\'m excited to see and to hear the questions that she has for me.

Topics Mentioned:

  • Basic financial concepts
  • Understanding your financials
  • Strategic planning
  • Profit First\\xa0

Key Thoughts:

  • The first is I think every business owner should understand their major anchor points, especially from a P&L. What does that mean? It means I think they need to understand revenue, and how money comes into their business. Michele

  • Knowing our financials gives us the ability to know when we are going to do a task, how much more it\'s going to cost us or save us, and then it also gives us the ability to know if I say yes over here, then I need to say no over here. Michele

  • One I would say really is about creating some type some type of Profit First strategy, which means, first and foremost, watching the money, looking at the money, knowing when the money comes in, knowing how much we need to pay out every month kind of tells me how much I need to be bringing in every month to satisfy that particular need of the company.

It\'s about having a good accounting system, having a time tracking system, and then having a system like Metrique that pulls it all together to be able to look at it. Michele
