Maybe you're just waiting on that one large job...

But if you read this post and recognize your business in it, don't panic.

Understanding that cash flow is the problem is the start to fixing said issue!

Cash flow problems are common, but they do NOT have to be your business's norm. 🙂‍↔️

To start getting your cash flow back under control, make a list of ALL of your expected cash inflows and ALL of your expected bills + expenses for the next month.

It's not always about spending less or making more. Sometimes, the fix is just getting strategic with timing!

Being the boss isn't always super glamorous, but there are a few perks of the gig for sure! 😏

Happy National Boss's Day to all my contractors and restaurant owners out there making boss moves!

Your P&L's job isn't just to sit there and look ✨pretty✨ (even though the financials I send to my restaurant clients totally do)...

You need to be putting those financial statements to WORK!

And by work, I mean looking at these 3 numbers from your financial statements, bare minimum, every month.

Let your numbers show you where to focus your time + energy to grow your restaurant business!

Is it really the best use of your time to spend hours in Canva resizing that graphic or in QuickBooks trying to get your accounts reconciled down to the penny?!

At some point, I need contractors to realize it's probably NOT! 🤷

If you love doing it, keep on doing it...

But when you graduate to the "paying someone else to do it is cheaper" stage of your business, I'm here to handle your bookkeeping! 📚

Let me tell you a little bit about this person, and you tell me if anyone rings a bell! 😜

They're a contractor who's trying to be the most booked out contractor in the state.

They're constantly juggling work life and home life, and all the never-ending admin work of being a business owner.

They definitely want to know their numbers, but they'd rather live on the edge than open up Quickbooks.

Bonus points if they're a fan of football so we can chat numbers AND how our favorite teams are doing!

I totally have a type; like this post if it's you (or send it to my next client!). 📲

These are the types of things that make my heart skip a beat... 😳

But then I immediately hop into action because no, it's not the first time I've heard them, and yes, I know what steps restaurants need to take to make things right! 🙂‍↕️

I know booking that first discovery call with a bookkeeper can feel scary, but trust me...

I also wake up and doomscroll on my phone. 🤭

There's nothing to be worried about! I'm not judging your business; I'm just learning where you're at and how I can best help you.

So, here are all the questions I'd want a contractor to ask me on our discovery call! 👉

This shouldn't be a one-sided convo. This is your opportunity to ask me what's included, what it'll cost, and what *exactly* you'll get each month with me as your bookkeeper.
