Projected cash flow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A common mistake is to only check the bank statement. The entrepreneur needs a <strong>projection of inputs and outputs<\/strong> to anticipate liquidity shortages or surpluses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Are you clear on how much cash you&#039;ll have in 30, 60, and 90 days?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does your company rely on emergency loans to cover payroll?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Key financial KPIs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#039;s not enough to simply look at sales and profits. Your checklist should include metrics that tell you if your business is profitable and sustainable:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gross margin and net margin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accounts receivable turnover.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monthly break-even point.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Debt and financing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many business owners only see the balance of their credits, but do not analyze whether their debt is <strong>healthy or risky<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What percentage of your income goes to paying interest and principal?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you have a financing strategy or are you just putting out fires with quick loans?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Separation of personal and business accounts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the Achilles heel of many SMEs: mixing personal and business expenses. <strong>distorts the financial statements<\/strong>, creates tax problems and makes it difficult to measure real profitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Analysis of costs and hidden expenses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The SAT only asks to report taxes, but a <strong>CFO helps you detect unnecessary or inefficient costs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What percentage of your expenses generate sales?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you have control over losses, waste, or duplicate services?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Tax planning vs. financial planning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The traditional accountant seeks to pay as little tax as possible. The CFO seeks to make your business <strong>grow with structure<\/strong>, even if it means paying more taxes because there are more profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Preparation for investors or credits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Is your company ready to show solid numbers if an investor or bank comes tomorrow?<br>The checklist should include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Auditable financial statements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cash flow and profitability projections.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Evidence of internal control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>well-applied financial checklist<\/strong> It is the difference between being a reactive entrepreneur (who only complies with the SAT) and a strategic entrepreneur (who runs his business with vision).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>CFO Ready<\/strong> We help entrepreneurs like you turn accounting into a real growth tool. You don&#039;t need a full-time CFO: with our <strong>CFO as a Service<\/strong>, you get the high-level experience your business needs, at an affordable and flexible cost.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introducci\u00f3n Muchos empresarios conf\u00edan en que su contador les da toda la informaci\u00f3n necesaria para tomar decisiones, pero la realidad es distinta: la mayor\u00eda de los despachos contables se enfocan en cumplir con el SAT, no en dar herramientas de gesti\u00f3n estrat\u00e9gica.Aqu\u00ed es donde entra la diferencia entre \u201ctener contabilidad\u201d y usar la informaci\u00f3n financiera [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":114,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[367,293,368,369],"class_list":["post-566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cfo","tag-checklist-financiero","tag-informacion-contador","tag-lo-que-tu-contador-no-te-dice","tag-que-informacion-pedir-al-contador"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Checklist financiero para empresarios: lo que tu contador no te dice - cfo ready<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Descubre el checklist financiero que todo empresario debe revisar m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de lo fiscal.
