They fail because nobody reads the numbers. Beth Snow of Back Office Guru explains the financial reports every business owner needs to understand, the warning signs of trouble, and why hiring an accountant alone won't fix it. Guest: Beth Snow, owner of Back Office Guru. She has spent her career helping business owners understand the financial story behind their business. What you'll learn: Why financial ignorance, not lack of effort, sinks so many young businesses. The reports that actually tell the story: profit and loss, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows. The early warning signs: payroll stress, rising credit card debt, and aging receivables. Why you can show a profit and still watch your balance sheet decline. What to review today: revenue, profit margin, net profit, receivables, and a simple budget.
