Are your sales growing but your bank account isn't? This paradox of being "revenue rich but cash poor" is a silent threat that puts many 7- and 8-figure businesses on the path to failure. Ken LaCroix, founder of Insightful Partners, joins Harmonious at Lunch to explain this dangerous financial situation. He draws a critical line between traditional accounting (looking backward) and the forward-looking finance strategy that CEOs actually need for survival and growth.This episode is a must-listen for any owner tired of running their business from dated financial statements. Ken presents a practical tool—the 13-week cash flow forecast—and explains how to implement it using an 80/20 approach, even if your books aren't perfect. Learn the difference between an accountant's mindset and a CFO's, what to look for when you need true financial control, and why waiting for perfect numbers is a recipe for disaster.Chapters:[00:00] - Intro: Why High Revenue Doesn't Equal High Cash[02:08] - The 7-Figure Growth Trap: When "Gut Feel" Management Fails[05:15] - How Successful Companies Go Bankrupt "Gradually, Then Suddenly"[08:30] - The Critical Difference Between an Accountant and a CFO[12:10] - Introducing the 13-Week Cash Flow Forecast[13:45] - The 80/20 Rule for Actionable Financial Forecasting[16:20] - How to Forecast Cash Even With Imperfect Accounting[18:05] - Why Your Accountant Hates Inaccuracy (And Why CEOs Need It)[19:40] - The Current State of AI in Business Financial Planning[20:55] - How to Connect with Ken & Get His Free Cash Flow TemplateLike this video, Comment with your thoughts, and Subscribe to Harmonious at Lunch!Download the full podcast here:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/harmonious-at-lunch/id1722490295Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2CIVZu21nyAbhHuO0nskRq?si=3d1f729fa9a743bdiHeart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-harmonious-at-lunch-163898157/Pandora: https://pandora.app.link/uo2Aj4gmSTbAmazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cb240cab-0e14-4923-8c75-03fe1b21e3ef/harmonious-at-lunchFor strategies to achieve greater clarity in yourself and your employees, visit the HumanOp Website: https://humanop.com/Learn more from Ken LaCroix & Insightful Partners:Download the free 13-week cash flow template and gain control of your business finances by visiting Ken's website: https://insightfulpartners.com/Connect with Ken LaCroix: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kenlacroix/Follow Harmonious at Lunch:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/humanoptechnologies/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HumanOpTech LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/humanop-technologies-inc/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@humanoptech#CashFlowManagement #FinancialForecasting #BusinessFinance #FractionalCFO #ScalingBusinessSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/harmonious-at-lunch/exclusive-content
