The Importance of Regular Financial Checkups for Your Small Business

The importance of financial checkups
Financial checkups are crucial to understanding your business’s finances. Intentional Accounting explains the reasoning behind financial checkups.

Have you ever had a routine check-up with a dentist or doctor, feeling perfectly healthy, only to discover an unexpected issue like a cavity or high blood pressure? This is similar to what financial check-ups do for your business. Even when everything seems to be running smoothly, these check-ups thoroughly examine your finances to uncover hidden problems. Whether it’s an overlooked expense for unused services or a more significant issue such as declining profitability, routine financial reviews provide valuable insights. They act as a second set of eyes, ensuring that your business goals are truly being achieved and that no critical issues are slipping through the cracks.

Better Manage Your Finances

Financial checkups involve thoroughly reviewing your financial statements to find inconsistencies, glaring holes, or concerning expenses. From there, we can decipher the overarching problem, whether it’s a pricing strategy issue, a bad staffing ratio, or something else entirely that brings your expenses up and your profits down. When the financial issues are brought to light, you can solve the problem while keeping better track of your finances and expenses from then on.

Achieve Your Business Goals

Every business sets goals, such as generating $5 million in revenue by year five or opening a second location within the next six months. However, achieving these ambitions requires a solid financial foundation. A financial checkup helps determine whether you have the resources needed for major projects and allows you to set more accurate and achievable goals for your business’s future. Rather than stifling your dreams or hindering growth, financial checkups provide a clear picture of your current financial health, enabling you to strategically advance your business.

Save Money

It’s easy to forget about every personal subscription you have nowadays, especially with all of these streaming services coming out and companies moving toward subscription-based models. With your business, it can be worse, with specific software fees, outsourcing dues, insurance payments, etc. Financial checkups will label and report every subscription and expense your business has and accrues over the course of a year. This allows you, as the business owner, to quickly remove any unused expense your business is currently paying for, possibly saving you extensive amounts of money. With the hundreds or maybe thousands of expenses your business pays for each year, it’s important to keep track of each one so your business remains profitable.
