    Ep 5 | The Bank Account Setup That Changes Everything (Profit First)

    The most practical Profit First move there is happens to be the most boring: opening a few bank accounts. In this episode, Barb Fisher and Juliana get into how to actually set it up, how the money flows between accounts, and the small choices (like which bank you use) that make the whole system run itself. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why Profit First starts with multiple bank accounts, and how that changes your financial managementHow the income account and your holding and operating accounts work together to track expenses and profitHow to allocate funds on a regular rhythm, ideally tied to payroll or another consistent activityWhy choosing a bank that offers free accounts matters, and how tools like Relay can streamline allocationsWhen to recalibrate your allocations as your business changesHow a Profit First coach helps with the emotional side of money, and why clean money systems make your business more attractive to a future buyerYour one move this week: Start small. Open one new account, even just for taxes, and begin allocating. Small savings habits add up to real change.

    Ep 4 | The Soft Close: Turn Your Year-End CPA Meeting Into a Strategy Session

    Your October CPA meeting shouldn't be a panic session. It should be a strategy session. In this episode, Barb Fisher shows small business owners how a soft close in the fall buys you time to actually act on your numbers, while you still can, instead of just reporting what already happened. In this episode, you'll learn: -What a soft close is, and why October beats waiting for year-end -The cleanup that pays off: reimbursements, stale checks, and missing expenses -How to tell whether your tax account is actually on track -How to decide if a big purchase should land this year or next -What to bring your CPA (your P&L and balance sheet) and the questions to ask Your one move this week: Get your P&L and balance sheet ready and book the meeting. If you don't have a CPA yet, start asking around now. Not tax advice. Your CPA has the final word on your situation.
