This is the August edition of CPB Canada's Victoria Regional Network Meeting, which runs in person every month. Jeffrey Denissen of Profit Guard Consulting presents the 16 core drivers he argues determine revenue, profit and cash flow in every business, and what separates a company that runs as a machine from one that runs on its owner. His case is that most owners track the wrong numbers, and that financial strain shows up in those drivers long before it reaches a year-end statement. It is aimed at bookkeepers and accountants who want to recognise which figures actually matter, raise the level of their client conversations, and know when a business needs CFO-level support alongside the books rather than instead of them. The session carries one CPD point.

Anu's Take

I look forward to the monthly CPB Victoria regional network meeting. For bookkeepers, and for the financial plumbing that keeps a business upright, I have not found a room with this much open conversation and genuine support in it. This month brings sixteen drivers of profit and cash flow, put to a room of people who, in their own practices, mostly are the machine. That gives me no reason not to go.

The numbers nobody is watching are usually where the money goes, which is also what every software spend review I run turns up: 10 to 30 percent of the budget, sitting unattended.
