Why Investing in Your Finance Function is Critical for Business Success

The Leaky Bucket

In this episode, we explore the critical importance of investing in your finance function and how it can make or break your business.
We discuss why allocating 1.5-2.5% of your turnover to financial management—including bookkeeping, reporting, cash flow, and tax compliance—can significantly impact growth and profitability.
Through real-world examples from businesses that faced major financial challenges due to underfunding their finance departments, we illustrate the tangible benefits of proper financial oversight. From resolving VAT issues and correcting bookkeeping errors to saving thousands in tax liabilities, this episode shows why your finance function is essential to success.
Don’t wait until it’s too late—learn how to invest wisely and secure the future of your business.
