A healthy business is profitable, generating sufficient cash flow from its core operations. It has a solid financial foundation to support the business. If it doesn’t, it could be making sales, but isn’t really making money. Many times, business owners do not have a grasp on their financials. And how can you make effective business decisions if you don’t know your numbers? That’s where FocusCFO comes in.

Host Mary McCarthy talks to Jeff Lacy, the Area President in Worthington for FocusCFO. It is an Ohio-based professional CFO services practice, that offers a flexible and affordable alternative for businesses throughout Ohio that need access to high-level financial expertise but don’t want to hire a full-time CFO. Their typical client has sales of $2 million to $20 million and five to 100 employees.

It’s important to see your full financial picture to know where your small business is going.

“I look at budgeting and forecasting as like my GPS. Why wouldn’t I want to take advantage of that if I could? Just allow me to get where I’m going faster, easier, and more efficiently.” ~ Jeff Lacy
