On this episode of Behind the Numbers., we dive deep into the intricate world of financial management, focusing specifically on cash flow intricacies. We are delighted to host David Safeer, the creator of the Cash is Clear learning system, and a seasoned businessman with extensive experience in Fortune 50 and Fortune 100 companies.
Drawing on his career in business and consulting, David shares valuable insights from his transformative Cash is Clear program. He sheds light on common misconceptions related to cash flow and how it profoundly affects the sales, marketing, and operational aspects of a business. The discussion is especially enlightening for small businesses navigating their transition into larger operations which often presents challenges in managing cash flow.
In addition to identifying the problems, Safeer also suggests practical solutions. He underscores the need for robust systems to manage cash flow effectively, challenging the typical emphasis on measuring success through profit and sales. Safeer suggests a different perspective, advocating for efficient cash flow systems as the foundational backbone of a successful business model.
This episode extends beyond basic financial management principles and touches on the vital aspect of mindset shift in handling cash flow. While many businesses focus on past financial records, Safeer advises on the necessity to anticipate and strategize for future financial decisions. He discusses the typical errors businesses make and emphasizes the need for a forward-thinking approach, underlining the role of the 5M model - Mindset, Modeling, Management, Mentoring, and Maximizing - in impacting cash flow positively.
Safeer explores the often-overlooked role of accountants in cash flow management, suggesting that they should not just report but proactively manage cash flow. He wraps up the episode by reiterating the importance of changing business mindsets to achieve a healthier financial state and extends an invite to struggling businesses to seek help and strategies for becoming more cash flow positive.

Why do many small businesses fail to scale? Today’s guest says that it’s a function of leadership and it’s fixable.
Dave Bookbinder goes Behind The Numbers with Hal Levenson, Partner and Chief Visionary Officer at Haefele Flanagan.
Former CPA, Hal Levenson, spent many years in his accounting practice helping small and medium-sized companies, in the New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia area. An entrepreneur himself, Hal is passionate about the contributions that entrepreneurs make to economic growth, standard of living, skill advancement, and community development. Yet, in his years in accounting, he saw the frustration of CEOs trying to align business objectives with personal goals. He noticed that so many businesses seemed stuck. Employees at most every level were putting in long hours and working exceptionally hard just to get an edge on a competitor, keep up with technology or handle sensitive personnel issues.
When organizations attempt to carry out major business functions without the required skills and behaviors, it creates a great and unnecessary challenge and slows business growth. Hal founded Trilogy Partners in 2009 to provide these businesses and their CEOs with the direction, planning, and financial advice that they need. He formed a team of experienced C-Suite advisors, called Alliance Partners, who could help entrepreneurs implement their vision.
In 2021, Trilogy Partners merged with Haefele Flanagan to provide stronger outcomes for clients, whom now have access to holistic business advisory services from strategy through finance. HFConsulting services include, but are not limited to, strategic planning, executive and leadership coaching, business transition and exit planning, financial education, and C-Suite support.
In this episode we unpack the various factors that impact a company's ability to scale, including identifying blind spots; making tough decisions; creating healthy conflict to increase accountability; and more!

Today’s guest is a hands-on CFO who’s involved in leading more than just the finance function. He’s going Behind the Numbers to share why he believes that organizations will benefit from having a CFO that thinks like a CEO.
Dave Bookbinder goes Behind The Numbers with Scott Stone - Chief Financial Officer at Alliance for Multispecialty Research.
Scott is not your “typical” CFO (not that there's anything wrong with that). He has always been fascinated by how things work, and that has led him to continuously seek a deeper understanding of how businesses really function. While he is passionate about being a Finance leader, he is drawn to learning how enterprises grow and thrive, and how to build and develop the teams that create meaningful opportunities for people - and ultimately drive value creation.
Scott also leads a class in the UAB School of Entrepreneurship called "Entrepreneurial Finance and Accounting", in which the entrepreneurs of tomorrow learn how to develop and use Accounting and Finance skills in their future endeavors.
In this episode we’re discussing how a CFO can create value in an organization; how to manage the ever-expanding role of the CFO and why they should be asking for more; and building culture as a finance leader.
