LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE:

If someone put a gun to your head and asked you to explain your financials, would you be a dead man walking? 

We thought so. 

With the world of online work changing the game for many companies, you don’t have to do it all alone. 

So you’re not a numbers person — so what! 

It turns out you don’t have to be a numbers God to know when is the right time to grow and scale your small or medium-sized business.

If the idea of hiring a CFO scares the pants off of you, but you have real questions about the future of your company and its ability to scale, you’re in luck! 

Rather than spending six figures a year to hire a CFO in-house, you can contact Dorothy Kolb and get the same quality service outsourced at a fraction of the price!

On the latest episode of the Inner Edison Podcast with Ed Parcaut, Dorothy spoke about how she helps Podcast Production Companies and Creative Agencies grow and scale their businesses.

Isn’t a Bookkeeper Enough?

One problem that many small and medium-sized businesses make is that they make decisions based on their bank account only. 

If this sounds like you, maybe you have a bookkeeper who helps you with your financials. Although it’s a good idea to have a bookkeeper, there are some drawbacks: 

  • They aren’t tax specialists
  • They often have no idea of how to limit your tax liabilities
  • They can’t help you establish a forward-looking financial strategy

Why? Simply because bookkeepers are great with business transactions, not tax liabilities and financial management. That is where a registered CPA and a CFO come in. 

If you have a registered CPA, great! We applaud your efforts to maintain tax compliance; however, do you have anyone to help you grow and scale based on your current and future financials?
