We’ve all seen great companies suddenly fold because they didn’t grasp how to track their financials to achieve success. Do you know how to analyze your numbers for strategic growth? Sadly, most business owners think they do, but they don’t.

That’s why I am excited to share my interview with Adam Lean. Adam is an accountant and multimillion-dollar business owner for many years. His passion is helping business owners grow and scale, and Adam is a partner at The CFO Project, an organization that provides small businesses with affordable access to CFOs (Chief Financial Officer) to guide them, to make sense of all the numbers and to give them a clear plan of action for their business goals.

In this interview, Adam and I discussed the critical skill of interpreting financial data to navigate your company’s future. He explains the difference between an accountant, controller, CFO, and bookkeeper, and when to use each of these resources for your business. Pay close attention to Adam’s practical seven-step process for tracking your numbers to see where you are now in your business and how to achieve your dreams. 

There are so many golden nuggets in this episode that I know you will enjoy it. Without further ado, here is my interview.
