Quick Value

from CFO Bookshelf · host Mark Gandy

I cannot begin to count the number of times I've heard the following question or something similar, "Mark, I've heard my industry EBITDA multiple is 5x. What do you think?" As much as I want to scream at that question, this type of thinking on business value is prevalent amongst many CEOs of both big and small companies. When the book Quick Value by Reed Phillips hit my radar, I bought it immediately and couldn't put it down as I started reading it. Reed's process for valuing a private company is a simple but powerful method that should be completed annually by an internal leadership team. The process is easy to learn and can even replace annual strategic planning sessions. In this conversation, we learn the Quick Value process, who should use it, and some other nifty nuggets for leaders wanting to grow the value of their business, even when they do not want to sell it.

Christian Nonprofit CFO David Beroth Financial leaders in ministries are often ill-equipped to address, let alone overcome, the many challenges they face. Too often they pivot from crisis to crisis, running on a tactical treadmill instead of proactively contributing strategic value to their nonprofits. Unfortunately, the full impact of their ministries suffer. It is time for this to change. Now. Paul says in Ephesians 4:12 that God gave leaders “for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” God wants to equip us so that we might significantly impact others. This is what this podcast is designed to do. While there are many firms with their corresponding podcasts that provide technical insight on audit, tax, and legal matters, there are few that provide insight on how to lead on a day-to-day basis to reach your nonprofit’s goals. This is what we are going to accomplish at Christian Nonprofit CFO. Come join me on this journey! Explore with me how we
