Know your numbers, grow your business

<p>In this episode of Lead with Curiosity, I’m joined by Phil Walker, Co-Founder and Fractional CFO from Mettryx to explore how business finance can feel a little less intimidating, and considerably more useful.</p><p>We explore the financial blind spots that can hold otherwise successful businesses back, why so many owners avoid engaging with their numbers, and whether the old saying “turnover is vanity, profit is sanity” actually tells us enough.</p><p>Phil shares the financial measures every business owner should understand, the early warning signs of cash flow problems, and the habits that can increase the value of a business long before anyone starts thinking about investment or exit.</p><p>We also explore the theme of confidence. As the decisions get bigger, how can better financial information help leaders move beyond gut instinct and make bold decisions with greater confidence?</p><p>And, inevitably, we talk about AI, where it can improve financial decision making, and where human judgement still matters.</p><p>If you would like to learn more about Mettryx, you can find their website here<strong> https://mettryx.com/</strong></p><p>You can contact Phil directly via his LinkedIn profile <strong>https://www.linkedin.com/in/philwalkermettryx/</strong></p><p><br></p><p>And if you would like to learn more about Phil&#39;s wine making venture, you can learn more here <strong>https://vyndene.com/</strong></p><p>To find out more about Donovan Training Associates, please visit <strong>https://www.donovantrainingassociates.co.uk/</strong></p><p>We&#39;d love to know what you think of the episode and if you have any questions for Phil or I, please get in touch in the comments section.</p><p>Thank you for watching or listening and enjoy the episode.</p><p></p><p></p>
