Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Amazon Book DescriptionYour business may have outgrown bookkeeping long before you realized it.Revenue is increasing. The team is larger. More money is moving through the organization. Yet financial reports still arrive late, cash flow feels unpredictable, spreadsheets keep multiplying, and management is left asking questions the accounting function cannot easily answer.When Your Business Outgrows Bookkeeping is a practical guide for business owners, partners, executives, and organizational leaders who need more than basic financial reporting-but do not need an accounting textbook.Drawing on more than three decades of accounting experience, Dr. Bruce Geddes explains how stronger controllership, better processes, automation, and artificial intelligence can help growing organizations build a finance function that is more reliable, efficient, and useful to management.Using the C.L.E.A.R. Finance Framework, you will learn how to evaluate five critical areas: - Close - Can you trust the numbers quickly enough to use them - Liquidity - Do you understand where cash is going and what is coming next - Efficiency - Are skilled people doing valuable work or simply moving data - Assurance - Are your financial processes controlled and dependable - Reporting - Do your reports help you make better decisions You will also discover: - how to recognize when bookkeeping is no longer enough- the difference between a bookkeeper, accountant, controller, and CFO- where AI and automation can create real value- why weak processes should be fixed before they are automated- how stronger controls can improve confidence without creating unnecessary bureaucracy- why human judgment becomes more valuable as technology improves- how to begin strengthening your finance function in a practical 90-day sequenceWritten for busy leaders, this book is intentionally concise and practical.Whether you lead a medical practice, nonprofit, faith-based organization, professional-services firm, or growing private company, the underlying challenge is often the same: Your finance function must grow with your organization.Bookkeeping tells you what happened.A stronger finance function helps you understand why it happened, what it means, and what to do next. …
