You can't expect your bookkeeper or accountant to care more about your finances than YOU DO. I see it all the time. A small business owner doesn't understand what their financials look like or even worse, what they should look like if they were actually correct and used wisely. Most of the ones I see are a hot mess. I've been doing this for about 20 years and I can tell you, most of these bookkeepers are not doing you any favors. Many of them have zero idea how to actually do bookkeeping but hey, they were a cheap hire, right?? Unfortunately, it's going to cost you big time in the future. Their mistakes are losing you money.

As a business owner, you might not even realize you are hindering your growth. Many profitable businesses miss opportunities due to accountants/bookkeepers that offer zero advisory and give lazy advice. I specialize in uncovering money leaks. Most small businesses have them, probably even yours! Bet! Even if you're making money, you may not have the cash or lifestyle that you actually desire, and this is one of the reasons why. So how much longer will you let your money bleed out?

The best time to start planning your exit is the day you start your business. Unfortunately, most owners wait too long and expect different results. When is the worst time? When you desperately need to sell. To get the most money for your business, you should be planning 3 years in advance. But no one really tells business owners that until it's far too late. My hope is to educate owners to get ready now so you can get top dollar. It won't be easy, but it may be worth millions. My top tip? Hire an experience bookkeeper to maintain your financials. Stop undervaluing the financial/accounting roles a business must have. Hiring someone with no experience is a crucial mistake. Messy, incorrect financials lead to all kinds of problems, selling is one of them. Don’t let common mistakes keep you from selling your business.

If you're considering diving into acquisition entrepreneurship, accurately pricing a business is crucial. To get it right, you need to fully understand add-backs and Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) – two financial concepts that are often confused but vital for an accurate valuation. SDE informs you of have much cash would be available to you as the new owner, so you can decide if that is suitable to your goals and has a significant impact on the sales price. Add-backs pinpoint expenses that won’t affect you as the new owner, ensuring you don't overpay for the business by understanding the business's true earning potential. SDE should be scrutinized to ensure you know what kind of cash flow you can expect if you chose to buy the business. Contact SLJ Profit Consulting to delve deeper into the realities of SDE and add-backs.

Those band aid solutions are going to fall right off as soon as you buy that business. So... Don't skip this crucial step when buying a business! The success of your purchase hinges on understanding financial performance. It’s vital to verify the seller’s claims and understand the true financial health of the company. Good cash flow is essential for sustainability, and many sellers may mask issues with quick fixes. THOROUGH Financial due diligence is a MUST.
