What do we do to achieve sustainable profit? What financial KPI do we need to analyze to effectively manage our business margins and understand our cash flow? And through this KPI can we make the best choices for our businesses in order to maximize our finances?
As an entrepreneur, it is important that we know our financial data. And while we may not have a financial background, a simple grasp of the fundamental concepts of finances will help us enhance our strategic decision-making process and will let us have a deeper understanding of how to optimize our dashboard.
In today's episode, we'll be sitting down with Danielle Hayden. She is a reformed corporate CFO, who is on a mission to help rule breaking female entrepreneurs understand their numbers so they can gain the confidence needed to create sustainable profits. She will share with us how we can leverage our finances by learning how to read the data dashboards through these three main KPI’s which are gross profit, net profit, and operating expenses.
Danielle spent 10 years in the boardroom as a corporate finance officer and has transitioned to now being the CEO of Kickstart Accounting Inc. Where she helps business owners with bookkeeping, financial analysis, education, and she is also the author of the Profit Planner book series.
“This was something that I learned very early on in my business was that I could not do everything nor should I. I knew from day one that I wanted a sustainable business that I could be in for the long term, and that meant finding a life that I could live and that required me to have a team.” - Danielle Hayden
