In this episode, Aram DiGennaro, fractional CFO and strategic advisor, explains how to systematically increase your EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) using the same framework he applies with companies every day.

Instead of vague advice like “sell more” or “cut costs,” you’ll learn how to:

• Identify whether your real problem is sales, margin, or expenses
• Find the single financial bottleneck holding your company back
• Use simple numbers to tell the truth about your business
• Measure performance at the right level of granularity
• Turn financial data into clear action
• Mobilize your team around what actually moves profit

Aram walks through a CFO-grade framework for turning your P&L into a strategic weapon, not just a report you ignore.
