You don’t need to memorise every figure in your accounts.
But there are a few numbers every business owner should have a good handle on.
Your bank balance tells you one part of the story. Looking at cash, outstanding debtors and profitability together gives you a much clearer picture of how the business is really performing.
Could you confidently answer all three today?
If you’d like help making sense of your numbers, visit www.upshotnz.co.nz or call 07 576 5994.

No judgement. Every business owner has one.
Maybe it’s:
- Sorting Xero
- Chasing overdue invoices
- Reviewing your pricing
- Updating Health & Safety
- Looking at cashflow
- Finally talking to your accountant about that thing you’ve been avoiding
Sometimes getting started is the hardest part.
If something financial has been sitting on your list for too long, visit www.upshotnz.co.nz or call us on 07 576 5994 and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Running a business already comes with enough jobs. Your financial admin doesn’t need to be another thing sitting on the Sunday-night list.
Upshot can support you with the day-to-day numbers as well as the bigger-picture planning, giving you more time to focus on the work that actually grows your business.
Which job on that list would you happily hand over first?

How much do you actually need to earn before you make a profit?
Every business has a break-even point—the amount of income needed to cover all your costs before you start making money.
Knowing this figure helps you:
Set realistic sales targets
Price your products or services confidently
Make smarter hiring and investment decisions
Plan for quieter months
If you don't know your break-even point, you're making business decisions without one of the most valuable numbers available.
