Revenue Is Up. Profit Isn't. Here's Why with Rich Brett

from The Handbook: The Operations Podcast · host Harv Nagra

Most professional services firms are generating revenue. But somewhere between producing a quote and issuing the final invoice, profit gets eroded. And more often than not, the root cause runs deeper than you'd expect – it's that nobody in the business ever properly understood the numbers in the first place.In this special episode, Harv is joined by FinOps expert Rich Brett to introduce The Missing Finance Course – a completely free resource built for everyone in your firm, from the leadership team, to delivery teams, right down to individual contributors. This conversation, taken straight from inside the course, sets the scene for why financial understanding isn't just a finance team problem. It's everyone's problem.Here's what they get into:Why most firms don't bother with financial education – and why that's a mistakeHow finance and operations working in silos creates blind spots that erode profitWhy storytelling, not spreadsheets, is the real skill your finance team needsHow commercial awareness at every level – yes, including junior staff – changes the way a business performsWhy understanding the numbers is one of the fastest ways to accelerate your career in professional servicesThe Missing Finance Course is free, self-paced, and built for three audiences: leadership, delivery teams, and individual contributors.
