Your profit and loss says you're making money. Your bank account says you're not. Sound familiar?

In the first episode of the relaunched Grow Your Business Podcast, Chartered Accountant and business adviser Paul Sweeney tackles one of the most common questions business owners ask:

"If my business is profitable, why does it feel like I'm always short of cash?"

Paul explains why profit and cash flow are not the same thing, where the gap between the two comes from, and why so many business owners feel under financial pressure despite growing sales and healthy profits. He shares practical insights from working with owner-led businesses and introduces the framework that will underpin this 10-part cash flow series.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why profitable businesses can still run out of cash
• The key differences between profit and cash flow
• Where cash flow pressure really comes from
• Why many cash flow problems are visibility problems, not discipline problems
• What to expect from the rest of this special cash flow series

If you've ever looked at your financial reports and thought,"I'm making money, so where has it gone?", this episode is for you.
