Accounting & Bookkeeping
Accounting and advisory firms are in a great position to assist clients with better cash flow control. Since cash flow accounting is a major issue affecting SMBs, you're well equipped to support clients at any stage of growth and development.
For many businesses, traditional cash flow strategies aren't enough to stave away the effects of negative cash flow. In fact, many contemporary cash flow finance options act as a band-aid to much deeper problems.
The average small business cash flow story
Accountants and financial advisors know better than anyone that poor cash flow wreaks havoc on small businesses. If you're a small business bookkeeper or financial advisor, you're all too familiar with the signs of disaster.
In Australia, 92% of small businesses experience at least one month of negative cash flow per year. One in five find themselves stuck in the red for six months or more.
90% of small businesses will close their doors due to poor cash flow management.
The average small business waits for 31 to 38 days for invoices to be paid. Some companies are forced to wait weeks, if not months, to refill their bank accounts.
Traditional finance outlets don’t often provide much help. Small businesses strapped for cash might find themselves crushed between high-interest debts and mounting stress, while certain business cash flow options limit how much money they can receive in advance. This could be a death knell in today's financial climate — even for established brands.
As an accounting or advisory firm, it's your duty to help clients navigate the pitfalls of negative cash flow. That means recommending unique platforms, services and software solutions designed to solve the status quo.
For dozens of financial advisors across Australia, this means partnering with the team at Marmalade.
