Financial management is absolutely critical to
the long term success of any business, no matter
how big or small. When it comes to the financial
management and monitoring of a business, there
are a several things that need to be attended to
with care. While these issues may seem obvious to
an experienced business person, they are sometimes
overlooked by the new entrepreneur, who is
attempting to live out a vision through pure profit.
In any business, it is crucial for the owner to step
back and take an honest appraisal at the general
cash flow of the day to day business, along with
debtors, creditors and taxation. Financial advisors
who specialize in financial and business management
are an ideal way for businesses to finding solutions
that work directly within these parameters so that
the business owner stays in control of the
financial position of the business.
But before you go and hire a financial advisor,
let’s take the two main issues just for a moment
and consider their importance to the business.
The first issue, and the simplest to evaluate is
cash flow. In order to follow the cash flow
effectively, you need to ensure that every
transaction is accurately recorded and the system
that is used to capture this information is be
reliable and consistent. Having an accurate system
is the only way that any business can determine
exactly what the balance is of all the money that
comes in and out every day. This is important for
determining whether the business can function
throughout a given month and pay its debts.
The other thing to consider in regards to financial
management of your business is taxation. Income tax
and the GST will be taken out of the cash inflow and
need to be included in the general equation of cash
flow. Be mindful of what you are bringing in but also
what you are sending back out to the government,
because your income does not translate directly to
profit.
Ultimately financial management involves a very close
and consistent observation of finances. Businesses
without financial management processes in place are
businesses that are on dangerous ground.
