It’s easier than you think to take control and manage your money and forecast into the future to take your business to the level of success you want!

The 5 money management tools mentioned above each have their own role to play in giving you financial freedom and the lifestyle you deserve and we’re going to show you how they work.

Profit & Loss & Balance Sheet

You can simply print these out of your accounting package and these 2 tools show you the “financial health” of your business.

The balance sheet gives you the “big Picture” of how your business is performing overall, while your profit & loss gives you an itemised picture of each expense and income source. This allows you to see where you’re getting the most money from and where your largest expenses are so you can plan changes if needed.

(MYOB and Quickbooks are the 2 most popular programs for our clients).

Your Breakeven Point

If you don’t know how much money you need to make to open your doors and do jobs for customers, you could be working for nothing or worse still end up paying for the privilege of working long hard hours. This is where our simple break even calculator helps you ensure you cover your costs to actually make money. You can do this over any timeframe you need. (Weekly, monthly, yearly)

Cash-flow forecasting

This is possibly the most powerful tool you’ll ever use in your money management for your business. This is the closest you’ll get to having a “crystal ball” to predict the future in your business. Instead of making your business decisions on previous numbers you’ll be able to look ahead at your cash position over the coming 12 weeks to identify any potential bottlenecks with your cash flow and fix it before it becomes a problem and allowing you to make more informed decisions on your future growth strategies, marketing and sales.

Debtors & Creditors systems

Debtors can literally send you broke if you don’t have the systems to keep them under control and paying on time. If the people you extend credit to “string you out” past your trading terms, this puts you behind in paying your creditors causing you problems.

The longer it takes for you to get paid, your larger the cash gap is going to be. This is the gap you’ve got to cover from other money or call up your suppliers that have given you credit terms and say you can’t pay and none of us want to do that!

With the right tools you can forget tossing and turning worrying about not having enough money, trying to make ends meet and spending every waking hour in your business away from your family and friends. This is not the way it’s supposed to be…
