Running your business without a financial plan is like driving without a map. Many businesses grow quickly in the beginning. But after that first growth spurt, they stop planning. They don’t have a clear plan for their money, and that causes chaos.

You finish the job. You send the invoice. And then – nothing. Most service-based businesses don’t go broke because they aren’t making money. It's because their clients aren't paying their past due invoices fast enough, creating a cash flow disaster

David Richter changed our business, and my life. David came in in a very low time, cleaned our books up, taught me how to start planning like a business owner and stop flying by the seat of my pants, and then taught us how to implement Profit First. And it was amazing. He helped me gain control of our numbers, and get in control of our business. And I grateful for what he did for us.

I've been using Simple CFO for 4 or 5 years now. We buy about 100 off-market properties a year and then do another 30 to 50 traditional listings. They helped me understand what I should be looking at from a financial perspective, and track the right numbers for me to be able to operate my business as a CEO. I get a really nice dashboard to know the health of my company that we review with my CFO every month. I couldn't imagine running the business without them honestly anymore.

David and the team at Simple CFO Solutions have made a big impact on our real estate investing business (flipping, wholesaling, and buy & holds). They put in new systems, trained our bookkeeper on them, transitioned us to QuickBooks, and for the first time made us accountable for our finances. The team handled our complex and unique situations with ease, and were extremely accessible and responsive. I would highly recommend them to any real estate investor looking to get a better handle on their financials.
