Ideas for the
boardroom
Practical perspectives on cash, profitability, funding, strategy, business transformation and the decisions that shape company performance.
Revenue is growing Why is cash falling?
Revenue growth can consume working capital when receivables and inventory grow faster than the business can finance them.
Which revenue is actually valuable?
Customer and product profitability can reveal a different picture from top-line growth.
How much capital does the business really need?
Funding should follow a quantified business requirement, a credible plan and a realistic repayment path.
What should management measure?
A useful management dashboard focuses on decisions, not just the number of reports produced.
Can the business scale without breaking?
Growth changes working capital, people, systems, capital requirements and management complexity.
When should finance become a strategic function?
As complexity rises, management needs finance to explain drivers, scenarios and choices — not simply historical results.
