Best Business Practices

The unfashionable list: know the numbers, pay people, follow up, and do not mix the accounts.

Best practice is rarely clever. It is the list of things owners skip because they are busy doing the work.

  • Separate bank accounts and a bookkeeping cadence someone else can audit
  • Written operating agreements even when it is ‘just us’
  • Follow-up in a CRM, not a memory
  • Payroll on time, tax estimates on the calendar
  • A weekly look at cash, not a yearly surprise
  • Insurance and a simple estate plan so the business survives the owner

If that list made you tired, that is the consulting engagement. We install the pieces. You keep doing the work you actually started the company to do.
