Profitability is a key driver of financial success in business. The goal of every Business owner should be to make profit and improve their business to make it better. If you were having a discussion, one year from today, and looking over your financials, Will you be happy with your financial progress? This question should propel you to take action, about what you expect your profit to be for the year. Profit is like a car,that must be driven; it does not drive itself; for you to get a projected profit, you have to be on top of your profit expectations. I have listed some questions, which should stimulate you to focus on an expected profit, as the year is coming to an end:
As you go through these questions, you're painting a picture of what your financial success should look like, and this will lead you to action, for an end result. Having a picture requires taking action to actualize your projected expectations. These steps below will help you achieve your financial profit picture, feel free to put them into practice and see the transformation, it brings to your business: 1) Have a Target Goal: You need to have a financial goal for your business at the beginning of every year. The Goal can be broken into monthly, quarterly and semi-annual financial targets. It is advisable and easier to have a monthly target. 2) Monitor your Progress: Once you set your financial goals, you will need to monitor your progress, against your target every month. You can only monitor your progress by examining your monthly financial reports (Profit & Loss/ Balance Sheet Reports). If you have not been preparing your report, this should be a good time to start. 3) Adjust: At the end of every month, you need to review your target goal against your actual results (financial reports), and decide if you need to make changes, in your business, to achieve your targets. The changes can be in form of reducing an expense category to putting a plan in place for faster accounts receivables process. This is the secret to creating your financial success for your business. I challenge you to put these into action and watch your business achieve your desired projected profit. Do you need help with interpreting your financial reports? Perhaps you are yet to prepare your financial reports for the year, and don't have an idea of your actual profit; Call us NOW for further consultation and Assistance. We will be glad to help you. |

Tips for Managing Your Business Cash Flow.
Posted on August 5, 2014 at 2:49 AM |
![]() |
It's already
the eighth month of the Year, We are gradually getting to the end of the year,
and soon it will be time for Year End Reports. In our last Newsletter, We
discussed the concept of Cash Flow and how it affects our Business Operations;
this month, we will be looking at tips to manage our Business Cash Flow. Being in Business for yourself is like being an Air traffic controller, especially in the area of cash flow management ; You can imagine trying to control 100 Airplanes landing simultaneously on two runways; this can be an upheaval task, but we regularly see clients line up their monthly bills, their projected income, business projects and business expenses and try to combine all these activities, at the same time, trying to ensure a steady cash flow into the business; you can imagine, the projected outcome, if all these activities are not properly coordinated. Cash Flow is the heartbeat of every Business, and if a Business does not have the cash on hand to pay their vendors, they will definitely run into problems. The main Cash Flow Problem, that Business Owners face is as a result of Lack of Creative Cash Management. Below are some Tips to overcome the Ups and Downs of Cash Flow Problems in your Businesses: 1) Always Schedule All Payments: Most Business Owners line up their monthly bills, compile them, sit down and issue all the checks and set up Bill Payments at once; but the trick is to have a " Holding Pattern". It is advisable to schedule each payment, in order to get to your vendors in a timely landing, without affecting other Cash Flow activities. Every Business has Three (3) tiers of Checks Disbursements Groupings: a) Must Pay Group- These are payments that can hurt you, either in cost or ability to operate your business, if they are not paid. These include items like Taxes, Rents, Payroll and Service Charges. b) Important to Pay Group - These are payments, that have a reasonable grace period, and if not paid, a financial penalty can be incurred, as a result of Nonpayment. These include Utility Bills , Credit Card Payments and Insurance Payments . c) Flexible Payment Plan Group - Suppliers, Vendors and Wholesalers, that supply most Small Businesses are the best sources of flexible credit financing. Most of them will continue to work with you, if you arrange a regular payment plan with them.
2) Make
Payments on your Revenue, not on uncollected Sales : I am sure, that none
of us will want to land a plane, hoping that the runway is beneath us in the
fog bank, as also Business owners, it is not advisable to make projected
payments on uncollected revenue. You may wander, what happens to Credit
Facilities, Guess What, Most Credit Facilities still have a timeline for
payment.
3) Do
not use Payroll Taxes to float your Business Operations: Studies
have shown that most Business Owners use the Tax liabilities, collected
during payroll, to float their businesses, rather than remitting the payments
to the appropriate Tax Authorities. They don't realize that they spend
more in potential penalties, fees , interests, time and aggravation, if they
engage in this act. Tax Liabilities grow, if they are not remitted at the
appropriate timing.
4)
Establish Relationships with your Credit Provider: It is very important
for every business owner to plan for a rainy day. Having a great relationship
with a vendor, that gives you a credit facility, avoids cash flow
storms, which might bring in a sense of desperation or lack of control.
5)
Invest in a Good Bookkeeping/ Accounting Service: It is important for
Business Owners to have a grasp of their cash flow and understand the
effect on their business growth. A Good Bookkeeping service is invaluable to
your business, particularly in preparing your monthly financial reports and
cash flow statements, which will help you, see how your Business is doing as
well as maintaining your Business Cash flow.

How do you value your Finances?
Posted on June 19, 2013 at 2:07 AM |

Recently, I was discussing with a friend, who was competing with her sister in selling their hand made beads. The conversation was about raising her prices from ten cents to twenty five cents per bead. I asked her what she needed to achieve from the increase and what areas of her life, that she feels the increase will make an impact, hence asking her the five most important things that matters to her in life. She thought about it, looked at me and said in this order: “First, My Family, then My House, Television, Candy and then Money”. Impressed that she had come up with exactly five items, I probed a little deeper. “Mary, what do you need to get the candy that you love?’ “Money”, she said. “And how about the TV, what do you need to get that?” “Money” “And how about your house?” “Money”, she replied once again. And then I asked, “How about your family, what do you need to get them?” Just as quickly, she replied, “Love” “That’s right, “I said, but don’t you think that maybe you have to reorder your list? You see, if you need money to buy the candy, the house and the TV, then don’t you think money should be more important than what it can buy? In that instance, she thought about it and said, I was right, and within that short period, I introduced her to the law of money, a law that serves as the foundation for wise spending. THE LAW OF MONEY: PEOPLE FIRST.THEN MONEY.THEN THINGS You see, most of us are just like Mary, we value things more than we value money. We care more about having what money can buy than we care about having money itself. When we follow the law of money, we will find out that, we are respectful of money, and if we follow it and keep what we have and spend, it will make us truly rich. We will analyze each category:
The difference in your perception is the VALUE SYSTEM that you applied- A Room filled with things is okay, whereas a room full of money is not.
In conclusion, when we work hard for our money, maybe forty hours or more a week and then go shopping, buy food, clothes and stuff, we usually say that we don’t know where the money went. This is also applicable, when we pay for services, that we really need; but why don't you consider this- CHANGE your perspective now, if we valued money over things and over items it can buy, then we would know exactly where our finance is going. We should change our money/thing ratio, so that we will have more money than things, this will also encourage us to take great pleasure in seeing our money and watching it grow. With this approach, we would always know when we can afford something that we need and will be more likely to be able to buy the things we TRULY WANT to make us happy. So next time, you go out to spend money, always remember that you are not throwing the money away, but you are exchanging it for something that has a value to you. Please feel free to give us a call today to get your finances organized, so that you can capture where your expenses are going and invariably increase the value you need for the important areas in your life. |
