E254 Ask Brian and Carol: How to Catch Financial Problems Before Small Issues Become Big Problems with Brian and Carol Duprey

What financial numbers should child care owners really be watching each month before small issues turn into big problems? In this episode of the Child Care Genius Podcast, Brian and Carol Duprey kick off a brand-new Ask Brian and Carol series by answering a question so many owners need help with: which financial metrics matter most when it comes to spotting trouble early and protecting profitability.   Tune in to this episode as Brian and Carol walk through the key numbers every owner should be reviewing on a regular basis, including enrollment, full-time equivalent enrollment, tour conversion rates, rolling quarterly profit and loss statements, budget tracking, accounts receivable, payroll hours, subsidy billing, and overall profitability. They explain why looking at trends over time matters far more than reacting to a single month, and they share practical examples of how these numbers can help owners make better decisions before financial stress starts piling up.   Listen in as they break down these concepts in a clear, real-world way that makes financial management feel more doable and less overwhelming. From understanding how part-time care can actually increase revenue when priced properly, to knowing when payroll swings or unpaid tuition should raise red flags, this episode is packed with insight for owners who want to lead with more confidence and control.   Join us for this helpful conversation and learn how strong financial habits can give you a clearer picture of your business and a stronger path forward. Brian and Carol also invite listeners to submit anonymous questions for future episodes, making this a great time to tune in, get support, and be part of the conversation.   Mentioned in this episode: Need help with your child care marketing?
