Built to Serve. Now Built to Scale.

Hope the week treated each of you well and today’s topic on a few crucial accounting areas helps you understand more about why finance is important for your biz! Happy Friday and let’s finish the day off strong!

I’ve worked with all types of business owners, but as we look ahead to 2025 we’re making a clear and intentional shift where we’ll be focusing our energy on supporting 25–30 veteran-owned businesses. And the reason is simple…veteran entrepreneurs are too often under-supported when it comes to the operational side of running a business.

We’ve noticed a pattern that many veteran founders are laser-focused on selling, networking, and getting customers through the door, but they lack the back-office infrastructure needed to support and sustain that growth. Often, they don’t even know where to start and that’s ok! They’re unaware of the resources available, or they’re stuck in survival mode trying to do it all themselves.

That’s where we come in…Let’s talk about a few crucial areas where your team needs to be focused.

Our mission isn’t just about offering “consulting” services to veteran-owned businesses, but it’s about stepping into the gap with real, foundational services that build strong businesses from the inside out. Here are a few of the key services we’re doubling down on for veteran-owned businesses that I’d love to network with you about and love for you to share with others!

• Accounts Receivable (AR) Management: We help businesses establish clear invoicing systems, follow up proactively with late-paying clients, and use automation to keep cash flowing consistently. Why this matters: too many small businesses are profitable on paper but cash-poor in reality. AR keeps the lights on and the business moving forward.

• Accounts Payable (AP) Management: We create a system for tracking bills, vendor payments, and due dates, making sure nothing falls through the cracks. We also help optimize timing to preserve cash while building strong vendor relationships. Why this matters: late payments damage reputation and credit, while good AP processes free up mental space for growth decisions.

• Treasury Management: This is all about controlling your cash…knowing how much you have, where it’s going, and how to use it wisely. We implement treasury systems that track liquidity, manage reserves, and forecast spending needs. Why this matters: it gives veteran-owned businesses a level of financial discipline and visibility they often don’t realize they’re missing until it’s too late.

• Bookkeeping: Accurate, up-to-date books are the foundation of every sound business decision. We clean up, organize, and maintain your books so you can truly understand your numbers, prepare for taxes without panic, and make strategic moves based on real data. Why this matters: you can’t fix what you can’t see and messy books are often what hold businesses back from scaling or securing funding.

These services might not be flashy, but they’re critical. They’re what allow businesses to grow with confidence, take on bigger contracts, and stay compliant. They’re what transform a “busy” founder into a focused CEO.

While we’re focused on veteran-owned businesses in 2025, I want to make it clear: I’m still here for any business owner who needs support. If you know someone who could use this kind of help or if that someone is you please reach out.

Through the end of July, we’re offering 10% off all services for veteran-owned businesses, and we’d love your help spreading the word.

Let’s build the kind of businesses that serve the people behind them and not just the other way around.

Contact me if you’d like to network or partner together. I’d love to chat with you more about the services I offer on the side through Guernsey Consulting. If you do not know, I work full time in Treasury Management and then do consulting on the side. Would love to chat or network with you about it.
