    How To Determine If Your Consulting Firm Afford Another Hire?

    Your next hire could lighten your workload and shrink your own paycheck. In this episode, I break down how to determine whether your consulting firm can support another team member by evaluating the full employment cost, cash availability, and what the role will contribute financially. Before you send that offer letter, know whether your firm can carry the hire through training and delayed client payments while protecting your profit, reserves, and owner pay. 👇🏾 SCHEDULE A CFO DISCOVERY SESSION https://session.sayyestoprofits.com 👇🏾 COMPLETE THE CONSULTING FIRM PROFITABILITY SCORECARD https://scorecard.sayyestoprofits.com 💖Thanks for tuning in to the SYTP Podcast💖 ©Say Yes To Profits.

    Uncle Nearest Billion Dollar Warning and Lessons For Every CEO

    A billion-dollar company is now at the center of one of the biggest financial stories CEOs are talking about. I'm going to break down what happened to Uncle Nearest and, more importantly, the financial lessons every CEO should learn from CEO Fawn Weaver. During this live training, I'll discuss: ✔️ Why every CEO must maintain financial visibility, even with a CFO. ✔️ The mistake many CEOs make when hiring a CFO and how to avoid it. ✔️ Why rapid growth does not always mean your business is financially healthy. ✔️ The financial controls every CEO should have in place to protect their business. ✔️ What a court-appointed receiver is, why one was appointed in this case, and what it means when a business reaches that point. As a Virtual CFO, I've spent years helping CEOs build financial systems that protect the businesses they've worked so hard to build. And today  I'll show you how to apply these lessons to your own business before they become expensive mistakes. 👇🏾 SCHEDULE A CFO DISCOVERY SESSION https://session.sayyestoprofits.com 👇🏾 COMPLETE THE CONSULTING FIRM PROFITABILITY SCORECARD https://scorecard.sayyestoprofits.com 💖Thanks for tuning in to the SYTP Podcast💖 ©Say Yes To Profits.

    Robert Kiyosaki Author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, $1.2 billion in debt

    Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, says he’s $1.2 billion in debt. Is this a wealth-building strategy or a financial risk? There’s more behind that number than the headline suggests, including debt held collectively with real estate investment partners. In this episode of the Say Yes To Profits® Podcast, Dr. Octavia Conner explores what consulting firm CEOs can learn from this story about borrowing, cash flow, and profitability. You’ll learn: • Why being in debt and being broke are different financial conditions • How to evaluate whether borrowing supports your firm’s financial goals • Why “good debt” still carries risk • How loan proceeds can create a misleading picture of your finances • Why borrowing money does not automatically eliminate taxes • How a Virtual CFO helps you evaluate debt before you commit Before you borrow, understand what the money will accomplish and how your business will repay it.   👇🏾 SCHEDULE A CFO DISCOVERY SESSION https://session.sayyestoprofits.com 👇🏾 COMPLETE THE CONSULTING FIRM PROFITABILITY SCORECARD https://scorecard.sayyestoprofits.com 💖Thanks for tuning in to the SYTP Podcast💖 ©Say Yes To Profits.

    How Consulting Firms Fix Client Profitability

    What if losing your biggest client would actually make your consulting firm MORE profitable? That $20,000 a month client might look like your most valuable account. But behind those monthly payments could be rising delivery costs, endless revisions, and team hours eating away at your profit. And the longer you overlook those costs, the more money your firm could be leaving on the table. In this episode of the Say Yes To Profits Podcast, I break down how to calculate client profitability, uncover hidden delivery costs, measure client profit margins, and identify which client relationships are actually helping your consulting firm grow profitably 👇🏾 SCHEDULE A CFO DISCOVERY SESSION https://session.sayyestoprofits.com 👇🏾 COMPLETE THE CONSULTING FIRM PROFITABILITY SCORECARD https://scorecard.sayyestoprofits.com 💖Thanks for tuning in to the SYTP Podcast💖 ©Say Yes To Profits.

    How Consultant Utilization Affects Your Firm’s Profitability

    Your next consultant could help you grow… or quietly become one of your firm’s most expensive profit leaks. The salary may fit the budget. The new contract may justify the hire. But what happens when the project is delayed, ends early, or doesn’t use as much of that consultant’s capacity as expected? That’s where consultant utilization becomes a financial issue, not just an operational metric. In this episode of the Say Yes To Profits Podcast, I break down how consultant utilization affects your firm’s profitability, including the hidden cost of unused capacity, why billable time doesn’t always equal profitable time, how gaps between projects should influence hiring decisions, and why utilization can create cash flow pressure even when a project is profitable. 👇🏾 SCHEDULE A PROFIT & TAX GAP ANALYSIS https://session.sayyestoprofits.com 👇🏾 COMPLETE THE CONSULTING FIRM PROFITABILITY SCORECARD https://scorecard.sayyestoprofits.com 💖Thanks for tuning in to the SYTP Podcast💖 ©Say Yes To Profits.
