The lie we too often tell ourselves is that we are horrible at numbers.
And then we stick our head in the sand and do nothing but hope our numbers will work out in the end.
Most of us don’t have a business degree, we went into business because of something we love to do or are great at.
So when it comes to figuring out what the jumble of numbers are telling us, it is confusing and scary and we often are afraid of masking the wrong move.
Today’s guest is going to change all that.
Danielle Hayden and I talk about how to make tracking numbers fun and empowering, how to figure out what your KPIs are and how to start some healthy number habits for your business today.
If you’ve been needing to pay more attention to the numbers in your business, you’ll want to take a listen!
We talk about:
- Danielle’s background in corporate accounting and why she is so passionate about numbers
- Realizing that so many entrepreneurs needed a CFO and deciding to start her firm
- Helping entrepreneurs to wrap their head around their numbers and using that to make business decisions
- Her advice for those who don’t know where to start with their numbers
- The reports that you should be looking at within your accounting system
- Being strategic about business expenses that you could help come tax season
