from The Finance Leader Podcast · host Stephen McLain
Send us Fan MailBonus episode # 99: Your P&L says you’re profitable, but the bank account keeps hovering near empty, so what’s actually happening? I walk through the gap between profit and cash and why small businesses can look healthy on paper while still running out of money. Cash flow is the fuel that keeps operations moving, and when you don’t manage the timing of cash in and cash out, even a “good” month can turn into a scramble to cover payroll, rent, taxes, and loan payments.Please connect with me on:1.
