The Entrepreneur's Financial Guide: Managing Business Finances

Written for founders and small business owners who are good at the work but uneasy about the money side. It covers the financial jobs you cannot hand off in the early years: forecasting cash flow, reading your own statements, choosing how to fund growth, keeping tax-ready records and protecting what you have built. The voice is loud and pep-talk-ish, and the substance is a plain-English walk through each topic.

What's inside
