But if that’s all your finance function is doing, you could be missing crucial opportunities to grow. Your numbers underpin every business decision you make — from pricing and hiring to marketing and...
When most business owners think of finance, their minds jump straight to bank balances, expenses, and getting invoices paid on time. That’s a good start—but it’s only part of the picture.
