Thanks to our partners Promotive, WickedFile, Maverick Shop Owners, and OverdryveHow much cash did your shop actually make last month — and how much of it is still sitting in the bank? If you paid off every dollar of debt tomorrow, would you have anything left to cover a bad month?In this episode, Hunt Demarest, CPA, goes solo to tackle a topic he says trips up shop owners more than almost anything else: cash and reserves. He breaks down the simple rule of thumb for how much you should be keeping in the bank, then walks through four specific mistakes he sees shop owners make — from draining the business dry to (on the flip side) hoarding so much cash it becomes a legal liability, to the sneaky problem of debt payoff plans that leave owners debt-free and cash-poor at the same time. Hunt also shares the exact system he recommends clients use to set their own distributions so reserves never dip below where they need to be. Whether you're sitting on six figures in the checking account or wondering why you're always scrambling before payroll, this episode is a practical gut-check on the number that actually keeps a shop alive: cash.What You'll Learn...02:41 Cash vs. profit — the two flows of money every owner confuses03:30 The reserve rule of thumb — 3 to 6 months of overhead05:03 Why your ideal reserve depends on your shop's cash flow pattern06:55 Mistake #1 — Draining your business of its own cash09:51 The fix — how to set your monthly distribution the right way14:24 Mistake #2 — The "champagne problem" of keeping too much cash16:14 The profit-hold account trick — protecting cash without spending it17:01 Mistake #3 — Parking reserves where they earn zero interest19:12 Mistake #4 — Paying off debt too aggressively21:06 Cash and debt beats debt-free and broke — Hunt's ruleIf you're ready to stop guessing how much cash your shop should be holding, start building a reserve strategy that actually fits your business, and finally understand why "debt-free" isn't always the win it sounds like — this episode is essential listening.Thanks to our partner, PromotivePromotive has over 40 years of recruiting and automotive experience.
