A business can show a profit and still have a cash-flow problem. In this episode of the Generational Growth Podcast, Austin Johnson sits down with accountant and business owner Christina Merrill to break down the financial foundation many small-business owners overlook.Christina has more than 30 years of public-accounting experience, but this conversation goes beyond bookkeeping. She explains why profit and cash flow are two different things, why owners need clean financials before making major decisions, and why waiting until tax season can create expensive problems that could have been addressed earlier.We discuss bookkeeping versus accounting, tax planning versus tax preparation, entity structure, year-end planning, choosing financial professionals, using financial statements to make decisions, and why business owners often treat accounting as an expense instead of a decision-making tool.Christina also shares the other side of entrepreneurship. She talks about losing money in real estate, walking away from a failed senior-placement business, growing another business through customer service and referrals, hiring and firing employees, and learning when it is time to stop the bleed rather than continue throwing money at something that is not working.Later, the conversation becomes more personal. Christina shares her experience caring for her parents, the financial pressure families can face when long-term care is needed, and her vision for building enough capacity to help families who cannot afford the care they need.Know what your numbers are telling you. Build the right systems. Plan before the problem arrives. Then use the capacity you create to take care of people.Connect with Christina:Christina@blueprintbookkeepingcoach.comWant to See If Properly Structured Whole Life Fits Your Capital Strategy?
