Develop Street Smart Business Skills

Financial literacy: “Why & What Action to take”

Business Intelligence: “Where & How”

Street Smart Skills: “Who & When”

I used to think I knew what I was doing and every year when my

accountant gave me the financial reports I muddled my way

through until one day I said to him

I don't Know How to Read these Financial Reports
Please show me” After so long he was shocked and I felt a little silly as my

business was now turning over 5 million a year. Due to good luck not

good financial management.

I didn’t know the difference between Profit and Cash. Once I understood

how the financial reports all worked together, I was able to make every

day decisions to improve our financial position.

I knew how to monitor and ensure every contract I had, was profitable and

we received the cash flow on time always. Customer satisfaction was

paramount for the customer…Cash flow was critical for me.

“Go Beyond the Numbers” Was born from the ignorance found around

financial literacy. Peter Ho and I have spent 20 years supporting key fortune

500 companies around the world to develop street smart business

intelligence by understanding financial reporting.

anybody in the company.
