Always adding value

Whatever your business size good financial management is as must but it's often ignored and overlooked simply because it's misunderstood. In this blog archive Garry Mumford simplifies all things financial and shares with us a lifetime of practical financial business knowledge.

Confession: I couldn't help this client

Here's a cautionary tale of autocratic business owners that move money around and make purchases whenever they like, without considering accounts payable.

[Case Study - Part 2] I went from builder to businessman

I experienced a lot of fear and anxiety before making the call. I went from builder to businessman all because Garry showed me the bigger picture.

[Case Study] We were turning over £1m, but had no cash

[Case Study] It was lots of small tweaks that made a big impact on our cash flow. We were turning over £1m but didn't have cash to show for it. Here's how.

Alone at the top

There's a problem being your own boss and accountable to nobody. It's easy to move in the wrong direction because nobody asks you difficult financial questions.

You, in 2029...

Your business is only really valuable when it doesn't rely on your input at all. The key sign is that you can take months off without your business collapsing.

Why building a high-value business is just like gardening...

Develop the vision, set the financial infrastructure, make better strategic decisions - and the key part...REPEAT! As your vision changes so will your plan.

How to create REAL lasting value with your business

If you want others to perceive value in your business, too, and be wiling to pay money for it one day, you have to create a business that will work without you.

Is your business valuable

It's not enough to build a business that is valuable for you, and you alone. It has to be objectively valuable, too. Are others willing to buy your company?

Crossing the Canyon

Fast growth must be carefully managed or it will strain your financial processes. Financial impacts of decisions increase and you need more than a book keeper.
