The finance hat?

Published about 17 hours ago • 1 min read

Most agency owners didn't get into this to manage finances.

But at some point, you need to know your numbers...or keep guessing.

September 23rd. 1PM ET. Our first-ever Knowledge Share guest, Sarah Patterson, is breaking it down:

→ Right person, right role: who should actually own finance
→ Right reason: lifestyle vs. performance, and why it changes what you measure
→ Right metrics: 3 tiers, from broad health to enterprise value

One hour. One artifact to implement the same week.
