WHAT WE DO

How do I manage cash flow with profitability?

“I don’t get it. My accountant tells me I am profitable, and yet I keep losing cash.”
“How did we run out of cash? Now I am going to have to call all my vendors to let them know we can’t pay them this month.”
“Why can’t anyone tell me if I can afford to pay my employees bonuses this year?”

Does any of this sound familiar? You’re not alone! Almost every small business at one point or another has run into unforeseen cash flow issues. The most common mistake is assuming that your net profit provides a basis for your monthly cash flow.
