Running any business requires expertise in a large and diverse set of areas: sales, marketing, creative, operations, finance. And in a small business, it’s not uncommon for a single individual to oversee them all.. A business can have the best product or service; but if the owner can’t manage cash flows or keep track of expenses, it will struggle to reach its potential.
