Money Doesn’t Fix Chaos. Budgeting Does. | Finance Ep. 1 (Yumi Sabag)
Description
Welcome to the first Finance episode of CoFinance Monthly Experts. This conversation with Yumi Sabag, our CFO, goes into something simple that most businesses still struggle with: Budgeting. Revenue can look strong. Sales can feel exciting. Growth can seem real. Then the year ends — and the profit isn’t there. In this episode, we break down: • Why every business needs a financial structure • The difference between revenue and profit • Simple budgeting splits like 70/20/10 • Why reviewing last year’s numbers changes next year’s outcome • How budgeting gives clarity, control, and options Budgeting is not restriction. It is direction. This is Episode 1 of our Finance series. More episodes are coming — reporting, cash flow, bookkeeping, debt, and more. If this conversation helps you think differently about money in your business, subscribe and stay with us as we build this series month by month. At the end of the year, what do you want to see — revenue… or money actually left in your pocket?
