    021. CCC / Days Sales of Inventory

    021. CCC / Days Sales of Inventory

    In order to calculate your CCC you have to understand the inputs into the formula. The Days Sales of Inventory tells us how many days of inventory your business holds on average on any given day.

    We like quick CCCs. We can't control the CCC unless we actually understand it. If you can sell through your inventory more often (increase sales or decrease inventory) you will see a quicker CCC.

    020. Cash Conversion Cycle - Introduction

    020. Cash Conversion Cycle - Introduction

    The Cash Conversion Cycle speaks to the give and take of cash in your business. I think of it like the tide moving back and forth on a beach. It's different in different seasons. If you can understand your business' CCC, you can then start to pull the levers on it and shorten it if need be. This means you can move cash out of your business and back into it faster.

    019. Unpacking ROI: Embrace Complexity

    Understanding IRR, ROI, NPV, and all the other finance abbreviations is important in helping you understand investing in your business, new projects, new assets, and more.

    You don't have to be an expert, but you do need to absorb the lingo and be able to engage intelligently about it. It could be the difference between you growing or stagnation.
