Cash flow is always tight for growing businesses. No wonder – there’s tax to pay. Your staff all want more money. Suppliers demand price increases at the slightest excuse. And customers don’t pay on time like they used to.
Now, after 30 years of helping businesses increase sales, reduce costs and make cash flow worries a thing of the past, I’ve collected some of my favourite strategies in this special guide for business owners – there’s no confusing technical language, no complicated processes to follow and you won’t even need a calculator.
Just dive in anywhere you like – this is a guide for business owners, not a novel that needs to be read from front to back – and start making big changes in minutes.

Reader Reviews
This book is refreshingly accessible for business generalists who don’t have a finance background. I have taken some of the tips and built them into my business already. I like the dip in and out format, and the fact that each piece of wisdom is based on lots of experience from the author. Highly recommended.

This doesn’t read like a typical finance book. It’s way more useful. Broken down into digestible, easy to follow nuggets of insight, this book is essential reading for those who (like myself) wouldn’t consider themselves accountant material, but keen to learn more about how to improve financial stability. It’s easy to forget that simple steps can provide the most benefit.

No matter what size business you work in you need to be speaking to your finance team. It can feel intimidating if figures are not your strong point but this book provides some great ice breakers & some simple ways to open up a dialogue.

Worth every penny. Thought I would blow quickly through it. Instead got lots of great ideas and things to think about. Also lots of material for my @dalmba finance classes. Great practical advice that is deceptive in its simplicity. Highly recommend.
