You're Profitable. So Why Does Finance Feel Broken?

Your business is growing. Revenue is up. But something doesn't feel right:
- AR is aging 60, 90, even 120+ days. Cash is always tight.
- Inventory numbers don't match reality. Shrinkage, obsolete stock, valuation gaps.
- You are pricing jobs or products blind because cost data is unreliable.
- Monthly close takes 15-20 days and still has surprises.
- Your ERP system fights you instead of helping you.
- You are the safety net. If something breaks financially, it lands on you.
