In my day-to-day as a CFO, I see a lot of businesses that are having trouble growing and scaling. Unsurprisingly, these businesses see a great deal of losses per day, especially operating losses.

Please remember this: Operating losses need to be funded. Lot’s of business owners get relieved when cash flow is good but if they are incurring operating losses it will just be a matter of time before their cash flow is consumed by the losses unless they find a way to fund them.

Smart P&L management is essential to the health and welfare of your business. In order to intelligently manage your P& L you need to monitor profit margins and manage your overhead.
