The Stress and Missed Opportunities of Poor Cash Flow

One of the greatest sources of stress for small business owners is managing cash flow. You may be one of the 69% of business owners who have been kept up at night by concerns about cash flow. You’re overwhelmed with work but it never seems to create cash flow for you.

Lost profits due to poor financial management are common with small businesses.

  • More than half of U.S. businesses have lost $10,000 or more by foregoing a project or sales specifically due to issues created by insufficient cash flow. (Quickbooks study)
  • 82% of small businesses fail because of poor cash flow management skills or poor understanding of cash flow (U.S. Bank)

Kinds Words for the Improve Your Cash Flow Course

Rob does a great job… discussing practical steps to take for increasing cash flow.

I was very impressed with this course. It gave a great overview of what cash management is, what metrics are useful, and what strategies are best for different situations. Highly recommend! 

Rob covered all bases on how a company can improve and destroy its cash flow position by either effective or ineffective management.

Let Me Show You How

I’m Rob Stephens, Founder of CFO Perspective. I’ve been the CFO of multiple companies. Early in my career, I worked for a company that went bankrupt from lack of cash. Later, I was the CFO of two banks that survived the Great Recession. I sat on loan committees where I saw borrowers make huge cash flow mistakes with their company. I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly of cash flow management. I want to show you how to capture the good and avoid the ugly.
