How We Started Asking Better Questions
Back in 2019, I was working with a small manufacturing company that seemed profitable on paper but couldn't pay their bills on time. That disconnect fascinated me. The numbers looked fine, but something deeper was happening.
What I discovered changed how I approach financial analysis entirely. Cash flow timing, seasonal patterns, and supplier relationship dynamics were creating a perfect storm that traditional analysis missed completely.
That experience taught me that financial stability isn't just about having good numbers. It's about understanding the story behind those numbers and recognizing the patterns that actually predict future performance.
