How much cash is hiding in your business? See if you qualify for a Free Financial Health Check Financial Intelligence Toolkit Your books are clean. Reports come out on time. Taxes are filed. And you still don't know if you can afford that next hire, whether you should take on that big contract, or how much you can actually pull out without breaking the business. In this episode, Steve breaks down why having an accountant or controller is not the same as having a financial system and what that gap is actually costing you. He also gets into what a CFO really does, why it is so hard to promote from within, and what a real financial system looks like when it is built right. If you have been making big decisions on gut feel and hoping for the best, this one is for you. _______________________________________ Disclaimer: The views expressed here are those of the individual Coltivar Group, LLC (“Coltivar”) personnel quoted and are not the views of Coltivar or its affiliates.
