From financial statements to acquisitions to general sales, my daily workload is filled with all things finance as the chief financial officer for Leap Partners. For many business owners, financial tasks can seem overwhelming, complicated and daunting, especially for those who own small to medium-sized businesses. I know this well because, day in and day-out, I work with these leaders. I guide the small businesses Leap has acquired to secure their financial standing, and from that experience, I have learned a lot about common trends and errors that businesses make regarding their finances.
I recently spoke with a friend about common mistakes I see and the general advice I would give to business leaders.
