Cash Flow Basics: Your Business Account Is Not Your Wallet
Description
A big revenue month can still mean a broke business. This episode is about the cash flow management shift that stops you seeing a healthy bank balance and assuming you’ve got spending money, because that money already has jobs waiting for it.
You’ll hear why revenue is only the starting point, and why your business account needs to be treated like its own entity with real responsibilities attached. We’ll also unpack the stress that comes from leaving everything in one account, then trying to work out what’s available, what’s committed, and what belongs to the ATO.
I walk you through my simple three-bucket method, including how I separate daily expenses, tax, and profit, and why this system makes business cash flow feel clearer almost immediately. You’ll also hear the mindset shift behind creating profit intentionally, even when you’re starting small.
We finish with a practical weekly money check-in that keeps you calm and in control, plus a few questions to ask yourself the next time money lands in your account. If you’ve been winging it and hoping there’s enough left when BAS rolls around, this will help you get a plan in place without making it complicated.
