In this first episode of Trade Finance in Ten, we lay the foundation for running a trade business with control instead of chaos. You’ll learn why reviewing your numbers on a consistent monthly cadence matters more than chasing perfection, why the five core financial reports only work if the books are properly closed, and why the 10th of the month is a realistic line in the sand for most contractors.

This episode explains how late or messy financials lead to bad decisions, cash stress, and surprises—and how a simple, repeatable month-end close process puts you back in the driver’s seat so you can make decisions based on facts, not gut feelings or bank balances.
