The Profit Heist Podcast

Everyone told you to watch your numbers. Nobody told you which ones.Your accountant looks backwards. Your bookkeeper looks backwards. Your accounting software records what already happened. And your bank account — the one thing you actually check — is the last place a cash flow problem shows up.By the time it looks bad there, it's been bad for months.In this first episode, Sam Morris talks about the gap nobody names: the space between perfectly organised books and actually knowing whether your business is going to be okay this week. What fills that gap, what it costs when nothing does, and what Monday morning looks like when someone's finally watching the right numbers.This is The Profit Heist.
