Profit doesn't always equal cash
Hi there,
If your business shows a profit on paper but you’re struggling to find enough cash to pay taxes, you’re not alone. Many business owners face the frustrating disconnect between profitability and available cash. Here’s a question we received from a subscriber last week:
Q: I’m generating a profit according to my books, but I don’t have enough cash to cover my taxes. What’s going wrong?
Answer: This situation is more common than you might think. Several factors could be causing the gap between your profits and available cash. Let’s start with these 3:
Delayed Payments: Sales might be recorded, but if your clients are slow to pay, cash flow suffers
High Expenses: Unexpected or high operational costs can deplete your cash reserves.
Poor Cash Flow Management: Ineffective tracking of cash inflows and outflows can create cash shortages.
