Your Pocket CFO: Simple Finance Systems for Small Business Owners — Budgets, Cash Flow, and Growth Without the Jargon

Running a small business is stressful enough without a 20-tab spreadsheet making you feel like you’ve failed before you’ve even started. The truth? You don’t need a corporate CFO. You just need a pocket-sized toolkit that helps you understand your money, stay calm, and make decisions without second-guessing yourself.

Your Pocket CFO cuts through the jargon and gives you real-world finance strategies you can actually use. Inside, you’ll discover:

✅ How to finally know your numbers without the headache
✅ Why “cash is king, calm is queen” (and how to keep both steady)
✅ Budgets that actually work in real life — not just in spreadsheets
✅ Forecasting made simple, so you can stop guessing what’s next
✅ Dashboards, systems, and routines that keep you sane
✅ Pricing without panic, hiring without headaches, and funding without confusion

Packed with real stories from café owners, tradespeople, freelancers, and small agencies, this isn’t theory — it’s finance explained in plain English, with a dash of humour and a lot of empathy.

Whether you’re drowning in overdue invoices, lying awake over your tax bill, or just want to grow without burning out, this book will help you swap the stress for clarity.

Because you don’t need a finance degree or a boardroom to run your business well. You just need the right tools — and this book puts them in your pocket.
